Amal Basha
Amal Basha is a Yemeni women's rights activist, chair of the Sisters' Arab Forum for Human Rights (SAF). She has been called "Yemen's most famous feminist".[1] As the chair of SAF, she "defends the rights of women, prisoners and refugees, and fights for more political freedoms."[2]
In April 2013 she publicly confronted Sheikh Sadiq al-Ahmar in the conference hall of Yemen's National Dialogue Conference: Ahmar seemed to be backing away from appointing feminist Nabila al-Zubair as chair of the body deciding the future of the disputed city of Sa'dah until Basha gave him this "public flaying".[1]
She won the Takreem Arab Woman of the Year Award in 2014. In 2015, she spoke at the Women's Power to Stop War Conference.[3]
