Areej Masoud is a Palestinian Christian woman from Bethlehem and the founder of Khayari Women’s Leadership and Economic Empowerment Organization. Born and raised under occupation, she speaks from a place of urgency. Now witnessing a genocide unfold in Gaza, Palestinians struggle to keep hope alive in the West Bank.
Just months before the war began, Areej launched Khayari to create a space for young Palestinian women to lead, heal, and find direction in a world that often denies them the right to exist. The organization is Palestinian-led, woman-founded, and deeply rooted in lived reality. Areej’s work centers on women’s voices, economic empowerment, and reclaiming space amid destruction. Her presence is not to dwell in the evil in the world, but to engender courage and find hope for the future.
