Afghan women’s-rights activist, campaign organiser and advocate for democracy and a moderate, pluralist society. Available for keynotes, panels and briefings, in person and virtually.
Resilience
What it takes to keep going when the odds are against you — making hard decisions under pressure, standing against injustice and dictatorship, and choosing the difficult path over the comfortable one.
The War of Perceptions
How stereotypes and media narratives shape what we believe about Muslim women and about Afghan society — and how to open a “third space” beyond polarised views that reduces division by religion, gender and race in workplaces and communities.
Conflict Resolution & Peace Building
Lessons from negotiating in the hardest rooms: the slow, unglamorous work of peace-building, and the case for investing in peace with the seriousness the world reserves for war.
