Stay Human
DR. khouloud Al khatib
I created my own culture:
Let us feel good about ourselves
We are a definition of ourselves…
My name is the choice of others. They named me Khouloud which
means eternity; I have committed myself to keep these values eternal
till my last breath.
My name is Human…
My nationality is Humanity…
My age is counted by the moments in which my dignity is respected…
I am a human being, with a special power to love and be loved…
I am a woman, who insisted on raising one voice: Liberty, Justice, equality,
freedom, dignity and humanity are my identity.
Spirit of Law
While teaching law at the university, I ensured to spread the spirit of the law in compliance with dignity and justice, rather than a solid rigid text and codes. I have learned to use the law as a tool to defend people’s rights and get equality into practice.
Life Mission
Peace is a choice. In this life journey, we come together to understand: Our common enemy is “Hate”. Our common goal is to build a society full of unity, solidarity, and LOVE for each other.
My Mission is to spread the value of human rights culture and education.
World of Humans
Throughout my journey in several places around the world, I learned to value diversity and got enriched in a world of human interaction with motivational human stories. I have learned to believe that nations become more than a common history or language or even religion; it is rather an entity of global citizens irrespective of gender, social status, religion, or color.
