Nadia Al-Sakkaf

Pioneering Yemeni journalist and founder of Mokhtarat, a platform amplifying marginalized voices amid conflict

Nadia Al-Sakkaf is a groundbreaking Yemeni journalist and social entrepreneur who founded Mokhtarat in 2021 during Yemen's ongoing civil war. This digital platform focuses on storytelling from underrepresented communities, particularly women and children affected by the conflict. Al-Sakkaf's work has made a difference through:

Amplifying 15,000+ voices through verified citizen journalism
Developing Arabic-language media literacy programs reaching 200,000+ youth
Establishing Yemen's first female-led newsroom network

Her initiative Yemeni Women's Narratives has been featured by Al Jazeera and BBC, challenging global media stereotypes. Al-Sakkaf's approach combines technology (developed with MIT Media Lab) with traditional reporting to create impact both locally and internationally.
