An indigenous Bedouin in a Jewish state and a fifth daughter in a patriarchal society, Amal Elsana Alh'jooj was a shepherd at the age of five. Always driven to pursue justice and equality, from her early teens she ran literary classes for women, marking the beginning of a lifelong career promoting policy change for Israel’s Bedouin. Today Amal is instrumental in shaping public opinion on Israel’s marginalised minorities. Hope is a Woman’s Name tells her journey navigating interweaving systems of power and oppression while embracing every thread of her identity: Bedouin, Arab, woman, feminist, Palestinian and Israeli. In conversation with broadcaster, journalist and film-maker Bidisha.
