Aya Chebbi Biography

Aya Chebbi is a Pan-African feminist and diplomat whose work focuses on the liberation of African women and girls. Chebbi gained international attention as a blogger during the Tunisian Revolution, running her political blog "Proudly Tunisian," which appeared on OpenDemocracy and Al-Jazeera, among other platforms. Her advocacy for democracy contributed to the end of a 23-year dictatorship, establishing her as a significant political figure in Africa.

Chebbi served as the first African Union Special Envoy on Youth and was the youngest diplomat in the Chairperson's Cabinet, reaching more than 1 million young people during her tenure. In this capacity, she introduced the concept of intergenerational co-leadership to promote youth participation in politics. Chebbi met with over 30 heads of state and government officials and more than 190 global leaders to advance the youth agenda in Africa, resulting in policy changes and increased youth appointments. She also organized youth-led peace forums in over 30 African countries, facilitating discussions on nonviolence, civic engagement, and community reconciliation.

In addition to her diplomatic work, Chebbi has established several organizations focused on youth and women's empowerment. She is the founder of Afrika Youth Movement, one of Africa's largest Pan-African youth-led movements; Afresist, a youth leadership program and multimedia platform documenting youth initiatives in Africa; and the Youth Programme of Holistic Empowerment Mentoring. In gender advocacy, Chebbi mobilized young women to produce the political document "Africa Young Women Manifesto" and founded the Nala Feminist Collective, which brings together African feminists to support Africa's agenda at national and global levels. She also hosts the "I AM NALA" podcast, amplifying women's voices worldwide.

Chebbi has held roles such as United Nations Global Champion on Conflict-Related Sexual Violence and Youth Liaison to the Office of Special Representative and Under Secretary General. She has served on the World Refugee Council, Oxfam Independent Commission on Sexual Misconduct, WHO Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, and the Council of the Africa Public Health Foundation. Chebbi holds a bachelor's degree in international relations from the University of Tunis El Manar and a master's degree in African politics from SOAS, University of London. She was a Fulbright Scholar at Georgia Southern University and a Mo Ibrahim Scholar.

Chebbi has been included in lists such as the 100 Most Influential African Women, Apolitical World's 100 Most Influential Young People in Government, and the 100 Most Influential Young Africans in the World. She has received recognitions including the Bill and Melinda Gates Campaign Award and the Global Leadership Award from Vital Voices. Chebbi was named one of Forbes Africa's 50 Most Powerful Women and continues to advance advocacy and representation in African politics, youth leadership, and women's empowerment.
