Loubna Ezzedine, a certified mediator in South of Lebanon

Ezzedine has made it her mission to empower women and youth as a peace mediator at the community level. Her focus is on building trust and consensus among conflicting parties. After participating in a community mediation programme in 2019, Ezzedine, together with five other women, was granted a scholarship to obtain a Professional Certification in Mediation Skills.
