Hala al-Karib or Hala Alkarib is a Sudanese activist against sexual violence in war. She is the regional director of the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA).

Life

al-Karib was born in Sudan and her childhood was spent there and in Canada.[1]

Early in her career she worked in South Sudan at the University of Juba.[2]

She works for the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) which combines the interests of 75 organisations to work in nine African countries to reduce the subordiation of women in the horn of Africa.[3] SIHA was created in 1995 and al-Karib became its regional director and she is based in Uganda.[4]

SIHA publishes an annual journal "Women in Islam"[5] and Al-Harib is the lead editor. The journal covers "gender relations and women’s rights within Muslim communities in the Great Horn of Africa.[2]

In 2021 the United Nations Security Council discussed the situation in Sudan. al-Karib prepared a statement at their request summarising the civil situation.[6] The Security Council met again in 2023 to discuss Sudan and al-Karib was again asked to prepare a statement.[2] She has been involved in peace negotiations if only to point out that there are so few influential women involved that any outcome is unlikely to be even-handed.[7]

In 2024 her work was recognised when she joined the BBC's 100 inspiring Women.[8]

She is a fellow of the Rift Valley Institute and a member of the board of the Musawah organisation[2] who try to ensure equality and justice in Muslim family laws.[9]
