Layla Alsheikh is a Palestinian mother whose 6-month-old son Qusay became sick due to Israeli soldiers throwing tear gas in the village. When Layla tried to take him to the hospital, the Israeli soldiers prevented her family and delayed their arrival to the hospital for more than 4 hours. Layla’s son passed away that night and Layla lived with her grief and anger for more than a decade. Layla started her healing process by joining The Parents Circle Family Forum, a nonprofit of over 600 bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families. She started her peace advocacy shortly after. She lectures around the world, hoping to humanize the Palestinian plight and stopping the cycle of violence.
