Author Renad Issa is a Palestinian Human Rights and International Law scholar and gratuate of Al-Quds university (AQU) - Al-Quds Bard college for arts and sciences (AQB). Starting her major in 2016, she has and continues writing, conducting research projects, and doing presentations about various issues on human, children, women, refugees, youth and other rights issues. In her second year at AQU and AQB she became a distinguished PAYCE Fellow (Palestinian American Youth Civic Engagement program), participating with students in a workshop that took place in Amman-Jordan, (where she became involved in The Global Summit movement). Her PAYCE research was about bridging perspectives, experiences, and increasing youth awareness of their civic rights in both Palestinian and US communities. This workshop helped Renad rethink in both American and Palestinian context of Human Rights enjoyment, exploring the gaps of Human Rights enjoyment between the USA as a Developed country and Palestine as a Developing country. Her final report titled “Art became my voice”, is available on PAYCE website at https://www.buzzsprout.com/215436/885560-art-became-my-voice. In 2019, Renad seized an opportunity to train at the Independent Commission of Human Rights Office at Hebron-Palestine (ICHR). ICHR, as a governmental organization, which tries to empower Palestinian rights encouraged me her to take more steps to improve the Palestinian awareness of their national and international rights, and to work more to engage the international Human Rights Law IHRL in support of ICHR, other Human Rights institutions, and Palestinian citizens rights.
