From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

May Rihani was born in Beirut, though her family hails from Freike, Matn District, Lebanon.[1][2] She is an expert on girls' education and women's empowerment. She worked in more than 40 countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia and visited 30 more to implement educational reform and in particular improve girls' education. She was a Senior Vice President of three leading US organizations that worked in International Development: Family Health International (FHI 360), the Academy for Educational Development (AED), and Creative Associates International. Ms Rihani served as the co-chair of the United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI) between 2008 and 2010. She is fluent in Arabic, French and English,[3] is a writer and poet, and a women's rights activist.

She assumed a position as director of the Kahlil Gibran Chair for Values and Peace at the University of Maryland, College Park, in early 2016.[4][5] She is a candidate for the 2022–2023 Lebanese presidential election, and has sought support from opposing parties, independent MPs, and thirteen reformist deputies as well as the Lebanese diaspora.

Career

In 2016, Rihani was appointed the director of the George and Lisa Zakhem Kahlil Gibran Chair for Values of Peace at the University of Maryland.[6] She served as director of the Gibran Chair for Values and Peace at the University of Maryland until 2020.[7]

Published works

Rihani has published nine books and co-edited two.[4]

In her English language books, she focuses on "addressing girl's education, woman's empowerment and global human development".[4] Two of her major books are Learning for the 21st Century: Girl's Education in the Middle East and North Africa, which was translated by UNICEF to French, Arabic and Persian; and Keeping the Promise: Five benefits of Girls Secondary Education. In addition, she authored Cultures Without Borders: From Beirut to Washington, D.C., a memoir.

The three Arabic books that she wrote are mainly poetry that discuss "love, Lebanon and global common ground". They are: Yalouffou Khasr al-Ard (Encircling the Waist of the Earth).;Ismi Siwaya (My Name Is The Other); Hafrun ’Ala Al-Ayyam (Engraving on Time)].
