Souad is the pseudonym of a West Bank woman who survived an attempted murder by her family in an honor crime. At 17, she became pregnant out of wedlock, which in her culture is considered a disgrace. Her brother-in-law doused her with gasoline and set her on fire while she was washing clothes in the courtyard of her house. Severely injured, she was rescued by Jacqueline Thibault, a worker from the Swiss foundation Surgir, who helped her leave her country and rebuild her life in Europe.

Her testimony was captured in the book Burned Alive, published in 2003 with the collaboration of writer Marie-Thérèse Cuny. The work has been translated into 37 languages and has become a reference on gender violence and honor crimes. Although her real identity remains anonymous for security reasons, her story has helped to make visible the situation of many women in similar contexts.
