I opened about a dozen employment centers for Arab women across Israel during my two years as minister of economy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My academic specialization is Arab-Israel relations.
Women's inclusion in the economy is one of the most important issues in Israel.
I grew up in a working-class Israeli family, which was feminist only in its female-dominated structure.
The Israeli government has already established a fund to encourage young Arab women, specifically from the Bedouin community, to study engineering. We are funding their university studies and providing them with mentors who assist them with their studies and the job placement process.
I've been able to work with great directors in Israel.
I would like to be more active outside of Israel.
I particularly love Israel. I've had fantastic experiences there.
The fact is that we created 10 to 20,000 jobs for Arabs and Jews and Druze, which has made the Galilee a very positive place.
Except for the projects in Israel, my being Israeli has contributed negatively to my global activity. It is hard for me, for example, to get projects in the Persian Gulf emirates.
I work for the Global Fund for Women, an organization that is actively supporting women's rights groups in 160 countries around the world.
