In 2014, Aya Chebbi participated in the SI Young Leaders Visitors Programme in Sweden, a leadership programme conducted by SI during 2008-2018 involving young leaders from the civil society working with human rights, democracy and sustainable development.
Aya Chebbi was appointed UN Global Champion on 23 October 2024. In her remarks, Pramila Patten said:
‘Ms. Chebbi will support the mandate’s work as our youth liaison. She is a remarkable leader who has mobilized young people around the world to bring about meaningful change. Aya, I am delighted to have the opportunity to work closely with you as we join forces to build a world and future free of conflict and sexual violence for all.’
This year, Aya Chebbi was also awarded 2024 Global Leadership Award by Vital Voices, founded by Hilary Clinton.
SI sends our warmest congratulations to Aya Chebbi. We are honoured to follow her important leadership and remarkable work as she continues to make an impact.
