Abuelaish became the first Palestinian doctor to work in an Israeli hospital. But the spotlight found him when his on-air reaction to the deaths of his three young daughters and niece went viral.
In his book “I Shall Not Hate” and advocacy work, he shares lessons in healing and forgiveness globally.
And at the 2018 Parliament, Dr. Abuelaish is joined by a new class of Voices of PoWR, inspiring us in the pursuit of understanding, reconciliation, and change.
Frank Fredericks will explain how we can end religious violence in a generation on the Next Gen stage.
Dr. Azza Karam will unpack the roles of women in the pursuit of human development in the Women’s Assembly.
Dr. Weiming Tu will share Confucian thought drawing from a fusion of heart, mind, and soul with the Climate Assembly in the pursuit of Earth and humanitarian ethics in today’s world.
Dr. Miguel De La Torre will zoom in on the injustices common to the Latinx experience and confront the ways that religions interact with these problems on the Justice stage.
Dr. Beverley Jacobs will share how the painstaking journey of making justice and reconciliation is even possible in the shadow of atrocity, in the Indigenous Peoples Program.
Jessica Bolduc will prove that supporting today’s Indigenous youth through relationships across faiths, cultures, and ethnicities will ensure that these atrocities never happen again.
Dr. Vandana Shiva a globally-recognized physicist, Hindu author and ecofeminist, will return as a PoWR keynote and bring the strength of women to the Climate Assembly stage.
