Abstract

"

But then a deeper question emerged—what if, instead of solely focusing on challenging stereotypes, we could also highlight the profound privileges inherent in being rooted in the MENA region? This reflection led me to coin a brand new term: Middle Eastern Privilege. This concept seeks to redefine what it means to come from the Middle East and North Africa by emphasizing the richness of cultural, linguistic, religious, and geopolitical heritage alongside an openness to diverse perspectives. It challenges the dominance of Western privilege in global discourse and celebrates the advantages that this community brings to the table."
