Description

Arwa Al-Eryani acquired her bachelor degree in Psychology and social studies from Ibb University, Yemen. Being the top of her class during all four years of studies, she was appointed accordingly as a teaching assistant.

Mrs. Al-Eryani has attended several credited courses such as; The Wellbeing, Positive Psychiatry and Mental Health, Teaching and Assessing Clinical Skills, Creative Thinking, and Psychological First Aid, from Yale University, The University of Sydney, The University of Michigan, Imperial College London, and Johns Hopkins University respectively.

 

Besides her six years of working as a teaching assistant at Ibb University, Arwa volunteered at the same time on displacement camps, hospitals, prisons and schools during the civil war in several cities, encountering daily uncounted cases related to women abuse, children abused, and human rights violations. All that made her move her Focus gradually more towards Feminism, peace, human rights and human security issues worldwide.  Her journey on this field continued until this day, hoping that her efforts and the efforts of those who walk on the same paths are making a difference to build a better Yemen, and a better world step by step.
