Ghada Saba is Jordan’s first female cinema director and a UN Women Gender Equality Champion. A strong believer in the significance of representation in media, Saba has written, directed, and produced hundreds of documentaries and short films, specifically focused on women. She also hosts a weekly report on Ro’ya TV where she highlights success of empowered women within local communities.
Saba’s most recent project #You’re_Mine sheds light on domestic violence, which is an incredibly important issue for Saba as she organises workshops in towns and villages all over the Jordan to help those that have experienced violence within their homes, which she calls Saba Hamlet.
