تتحدث هند الإرياني عن حملاتها مع آخرين ضد نبتة "القات" التي قالت إنها التصقت بصورة اليمنيين أمام العالم وجعلت اليمن بلداً معاقاً وإعاقته هي "القات"، وكيف امتدت الحملات من مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي إلى ساحات الاحتجاجات والمدارس ومؤسسات الدولة ومناطق القبائل، والنجاحات والإخفاقات التي حققتها هذه الحملات.


Hind Al-Eryani: A girl's attempt to reclaim the "Yemen Felix" name, the fight against Qat

Hind talks about her campaigns with her colleagues against Qat, that, as she says, has attached itself to the image of Yemenis before the world, and how Qat has crippled the country. She also explains how those campaigns have reached different platforms, starting from social media websites all the way to open squares, schools, government institutions, and tribal areas, mentioning the ups and downs that these campaigns have faced.



In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
