Career[]

She obtained BA in English language and English Literature from the Birzeit University. She received MSc degree in Sociology and Global Change from the University of Edinburgh. She is also known for undertaking monitoring and evaluation missions of humanitarian and development aid in countries such as State of Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon for various governmental as well as non-governmental organisations.[2]

Her political commentary and research work has notably featured in Al Jazeera English, The Guardian, BBC, Huffington Post, The New York Times, Middle East Monitor, Newsweek, Mondoweiss, International Business Times and TRT-World.[3][4]

She has been a prominent activist often advocating for the rights of Palestinian people through storytelling, writing and her activism has also raised global awareness about the harsh realities and experiences faced by Palestinians under Israeli control.[5][6] During the 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis, she has often raised her concerns on Israel's suppression attitude towards Palestine through her activism.[7][8]

In May 2021, Twitter restricted the official Twitter account of Mariam who was reporting on the protests from the West Bank during the 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis.[9][10][11] Barghouti said Twitter asked her to delete some of her tweets. The company later said the account restriction was due to an error.[12][13]
