Lmar Elnajjar, an AIS Egypt Grade 11 student, recently made a powerful impact at Egypt’s inaugural UN GirlUp Summit, speaking passionately about women in leadership.

Lmar's topic was deeply personal, reflecting her unwavering belief in women's capability to drive change across all fields. She challenged the persistent gender biases that limit women’s access to leadership roles. Citing evidence of women's exceptional performance in global leadership, she highlighted the unjustified doubt and speculation that women often face.

Her articulate presentation was aimed at overcoming self-doubt, emphasizing that gender should never be a barrier to leadership. Lmar's participation in the GirlUp Summit provided a vital platform to voice her convictions and inspire others, showcasing the potential for young leaders to create meaningful change.
