Rania Al-Yassin was born on 31 August 1970 in Kuwait, to Palestinian parents.[2] Her father, Faisal Al-Yassin was a Palestinian from Tulkarm in the West Bank.[3] She also has Turkish roots on her maternal grandfather's side.[2] Rania attended the New English School, Kuwait and subsequently received a degree in business administration from the American University in Cairo. Upon her graduation, she worked briefly in marketing for Citibank, followed by a job with Apple Inc. in Amman, Jordan.[4]

Marriage to Abdullah II of Jordan

Rania met Jordanian Prince Abdullah bin Al-Hussein at a dinner party in January 1993. On 10 June 1993, they were married at Zahran Palace.[5] Their wedding ceremony was considered a national holiday. The couple has four children:[5]

Abdullah ascended the throne on 7 February 1999, and proclaimed Rania queen on 22 March 1999.[6][7]

Since her marriage, Queen Rania has used her position to advocate for various sectors of society in Jordan and beyond.[8]

Domestic agenda

Education

Queen Rania has launched and championed several initiatives in education and learning. Queen Rania has stated that an essential aspect of education is to equip young people with the necessary skills to perform well in the workplace.[9]

In July 2005, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, the King and Queen launched an annual teachers' award, the Queen Rania Award for Excellence in Education.[10][11]

The Queen is Chairperson of Jordan's first interactive children's museum, which opened in May 2007.[12][13] In April 2008, the Queen launched "Madrasati" ("My School"), a public-private initiative aimed at refurbishing 500 of Jordan's public schools over a five-year period.[14] Queen Rania also established The Queen Rania Al Abdullah Center for Educational Technology on 6 June 2001, aiming to use modern technology to serve and develop education in Jordan.[15]

The Queen Rania Teacher Academy, which was launched in June 2009, provides professional development programs for current and new teachers in partnership with the Ministry of Education. The Queen Rania Scholarship Program[16] partners with several universities from around the world to support scholarships and training for Jordanian students and workers in management, marketing, design, business administration, psychology, engineering, law, and other fields.[16][17]

Community and youth empowerment

Queen Rania at the World Economic Forum on the Middle East held at the Dead Sea, Jordan, in 2007

Queen Rania's first venture was the establishment of the Jordan River Foundation (JRF) in 1995.[18]

The Jordan River Children Program (JRCP) was developed by Queen Rania to place children's welfare above political agendas and cultural taboos.[19] This led to the launch, in 1998, of JRF's Child Safety Program, which addresses the immediate needs of children at risk from abuse and initiated a long-term campaign to increase public awareness about violence against children. The deaths of two children in Amman as a result of child abuse in early 2009 led Queen Rania to call for an emergency meeting of government and non-government (including JRF) stakeholders to discuss where the system was failing.[20]

In 2009, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her husband's accession to the throne, Queen Rania launched a community champion award (Ahel Al Himmeh) to highlight the accomplishments of groups and individuals who have helped their local communities.[21] Queen Rania initiated the Al-Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans in 2003.[22]

In her capacity as Regional Ambassador of INJAZ Al-Arab, Queen Rania has taught classes and engaged in dialogue with young people in other countries; she also launched INJAZ Al-Arab's presence elsewhere in the Arab world.[23] She chaired a discussion with entrepreneurs in celebration of INJAZ Al-Arab's 10th anniversary, showcasing alumni's success stories [24] At the 2008 World Economic Forum in Davos, she launched the "Empowering One Million Arab Youth by 2018" campaign, which was conceived by INJAZ Arabia.[25]

Health

In 2005, Queen Rania established the Royal Health Awareness Society (RHAS) to educate parents and children about the basics of nutrition and hygiene, the benefits of exercise, the harms of smoking, and other areas related to health.[26]

In 2011, the first specialized medical building for children was built in Jordan, Queen Rania Children's Hospital, established to improve the medical service for Jordanian children. The hospital provides for the care of children, especially complex medical cases including organ transplants and endoscopic operations.[8]

Global agenda

Global education

Speaking at the 2003 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland

In November 2000, in recognition of her commitment to the cause of children and youth, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) invited Queen Rania to join its Global Leadership Initiative.[27] In early 2002 Queen Rania joined the Board of Directors of the International Youth Foundation, based in Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States.[28] In January 2007, Queen Rania was named UNICEF's first Eminent Advocate for Children.[29] In August 2009, Queen Rania became Honorary Global Chair of the United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI).[30]

As a longtime supporter of the Global Campaign for Education (GCE),[31] Queen Rania met with children and inspirational women in South Africa, both in the cities of Johannesburg and Soweto, in March 2009.[32] One of the stories in the book, "Maha of the Mountains", was contributed by Queen Rania.[33][34]

First Lady Michelle Obama hosts Queen Rania in the Yellow Oval Room, April 2009.

During her April 2009 US trip, Queen Rania joined leading education advocates Congresswoman Nita Lowey and Counsellor to the Secretary of the Treasury Gene Sperling to launch "The Big Read" as part of Global Campaign for Education's global action week calling for quality basic education for all children.[35] She was also hosted by first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, during that same trip.[36]

On 20 August 2009, Queen Rania co-founded and led the launch of the "1GOAL: Education for All" campaign alongside Gary Lineker, and with the help of top international footballers at Wembley Stadium, London.[37] On 6 October 2009, Queen Rania was joined by Prime Minister Gordon Brown of the UK, the president of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, President Jacob Zuma of South Africa, and other heads of state, for the Global Launch of 1GOAL, which took place across six locations worldwide.[38][39]

Cross-cultural dialogue

Queen Rania has also been particularly vocal about the importance of cross-cultural and interfaith dialogue to foster greater understanding, tolerance and acceptance across the world.[40] She has used her status to correct what she sees as misconceptions in the West about the Arab world.[41]

Queen Rania has played a significant role in reaching out to the global community to foster values of tolerance and acceptance, and increase cross-cultural dialogue. For example, regionally and internationally, Queen Rania has campaigned for a greater understanding between cultures in such high-profile forums as the Jeddah Economic Forum,[42] Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University,[43] and the Skoll Foundation[44] in the UK. She has also made public appearances, including a half-hour television interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show on 17 May 2006, where she spoke about misconceptions about Islam and especially women in Islam.[45][46][47]

In September 2006, Queen Rania also joined the United Nations Foundation board of directors.[48] The UN Foundation builds and implements public-private partnerships to address the world's most pressing problems, and broadens support for the UN through advocacy and public outreach.[49]

Microfinance

In September 2003, Queen Rania accepted an invitation to join the board of directors of the Foundation for International Community Assistance (FINCA).[50]

An emissary for the United Nations' International Year of Microcredit in 2005, Queen Rania's belief in microfinance and her partnership with FINCA[50] has generated more Jordanian micro-businesses, with the official opening of FINCA Jordan in February 2008.[51]

Environment

In October 2020, Queen Rania was named as a member of the Earthshot Prize Council, an initiative of Prince William to find solutions to environmental issues.[52]

Social media

YouTube

Queen Rania has a large audience across multiple social media platforms.[53]

Queen Rania has used YouTube as a way to promote intercultural dialogue by calling on young people around the world to engage in a global dialogue to dismantle stereotypes of Muslims and the Arab world.[54] On 30 March 2008, Queen Rania launched her own YouTube channel, initially to invite viewers to give their opinions of the Middle East and talk about stereotypes they may have of Arabs and Muslims.[55] Between 30 March and 12 August (International Youth Day), Queen Rania posted videos on YouTube in which she asked people to send her their questions about Islam and the Arab world.[56] She provided responses to those questions and explained her view of the truth about various Arab and Muslim stereotypes. Over five months she posted videos on subjects that included honour killings, terrorism and the rights of Arab women.[57] International personalities such as Dean Obeidallah,[58] Maz Jobrani,[59] and YouTube star Mia Rose[60] also contributed videos to the campaign.

In 2008, Queen Rania participated in YouTube's In My Name[61] campaign. She appeared alongside The Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am in the video, "End Poverty – Be the Generation,"[62] which urged world leaders to keep the promises they made in 2000 at the United Nations Millennium Summit.

Twitter

To coincide with the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Jordan on Friday, 8 May 2009, Queen Rania started using the micro-blogging website Twitter with the username @QueenRania.[63] On the occasion of the World Economic Forum held at the Dead Sea in Jordan, June 2009, she conducted her first Twitter interview, answering five questions from the general public via her Twitter account.[64]
