In this interview, we speak with Dr. Khouloud Al-Khatib, cofounder and president of LOUDER – Human Rights Organization, about the state of human rights and the realities faced by vulnerable communities in the region. The conversation focuses on refugee rights, the gaps between international law and lived experience, and the urgent need for stronger protection mechanisms.
We also address violence against women, examining why it persists, how legal and institutional failures enable it, and what concrete actions are needed to prevent it. Through a rights-based lens, the discussion highlights accountability, justice, and the responsibility of states and institutions to protect dignity and safety.
This interview is part of an ongoing effort to shed light on human rights challenges and to amplify conversations that push for protection, equality, and an end to violence.
