Orly Halpern

Hello Anna Lindh Foundation, I am a freelance journalist who has been reporting on conflicts in the Middle East since 1999. During these years I have reported from Gaza and the West Bank, from Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, and Afghanistan covering everything from the Second Intifada, the US occupation of Iraq, to women's status in Afghanistan and elections in Egypt. I have also reported on women's issues from Ghana and Rwanda and on the conflict in Ethiopia. I do mostly print journalism, but also radio reports and producing for Television news. I have written for Haaretz, the Jerusalem Post, Canada's Globe and Mail, US News and World Report, San Francisco Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, The Forward, Trends magazine, and others.
