In 2016, PEOPLE named Queen Rania as one of 25 Women Changing The World, writing, "Queen Rania of Jordan is a leader of women in the Arab world and beyond and is a champion of refugees, especially those fleeing neighboring Syria. Jordan has taken in more than 1.4 million people during the civil war."

In her essay about Olympic swimmer Yusra Mardini, who rescued a boatload Syrian refugees, the Queen wrote, "I wish more people could look beyond their borders to support others in need. ... [When] we all lift each other up, that's when we win gold for humanity."

For her part, Mardini said of the queen: "She is ... showing that women can be successful. She is an inspiration — keep going!"
