Yasmin El-Hemaly

EGYPT | 2025 FELLOW

Yasmin El-Hamaly is a devoted mother to her one-year-old son Farid, whose presence serves as a constant source of inspiration and strength. In his eyes, Yasmin finds the courage to embrace life fully, the drive to pursue knowledge relentlessly, and the determination to leave a meaningful mark on the world. 

Born and raised in a humble village in rural Egypt, Yasmin grew up understanding that the smallest beginnings can ripple into the most profound transformations. Her passion for peace and gender equality led her to earn a Bachelor's degree in Political Science, and she is currently advancing her journey by pursuing a Master’s degree in Project Management 

Yasmin firmly believes in the indispensable role of women in decision-making and peacebuilding, recognizing their unique power to shape resilient societies. She is proud to contribute to a project combating gender-based violence Funded by UNFPA Egypt.

For Yasmin, every individual regardless of how modest their role might seem holds the potential to ignite change. The butterfly effect, after all, transcends time, and its echoes continue long after the initial flutter. 

At her core, Yasmin is an adventurer at heart and an ardent lover of life, viewing every moment as a canvas for transformation and every obstacle as fertile ground for growth.
