BPW-Palestine Projects Coordinator Participates in CADFA Palestinian Women’s Visit to the UK
BPW-Palestine Projects Coordinator Mariam Alqam recently participated in Camden Abu Dis Friendship Association 's Palestinian Women’s Visit to the United Kingdom, a programme bringing Palestinian and British women together through dialogue, cultural exchange, and networking.
As a young Palestinian professional working in science and research, Mariam shared the realities faced by Palestinian women in STEM, the importance of creating opportunities for women in scientific fields, and the value of supporting young women’s participation in professional and international spaces.
The programme included a visit to the Welsh Senedd, as well as meetings with women from different backgrounds and organizations across the UK. Mariam also shared aspects of Palestinian culture and everyday experiences, contributing to mutual understanding and building new professional connections.
Her participation reflects the vision of BPW-Palestine’s Women in Diplomacy Circle, which encourages women to engage across cultures, build networks, represent their communities, and contribute their perspectives in diverse spaces.
The visit strengthened connections between Palestinian and British women and opened opportunities for future exchange and collaboration.
