Honey draws on her experiences in football to highlight the disconnect between sports having the power to create opportunity for women and female professionals and players having access to equal opportunities and rights within the sports industry.

As Co-founder and first ever Captain of the Palestinian Women’s National Football Team, Honey is an advocate for the transformational power of sport to break social and political barriers. She is recognized as a Champion for Peace and is an ambassador for several pro-social sports organizations benefiting thousands of girls and boys throughout the Middle East and beyond.
