Welcome ❤︎

As a feminist human rights defender with a rich multicultural background with about ten years of international experience, my journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to fostering positive change.

Today, I want to share how I can support and empower you through your journey.

My passion lies in coaching and mentoring young feminists, helping them cultivate the skills necessary for leadership and women's empowerment. Throughout my years of experience, I've witnessed the transformative power of believing in yourself as it opens doors to unimaginable possibilities.

My ultimate life goal revolves around empowering young women, instilling in them the unwavering belief that they can achieve anything they set their minds to. This empowerment, I believe, is the key to unleashing their full potential and propelling them into leadership positions. After all, our participation in social, political, and economic decisions is essential for holistic development.

  • Provided advisory support to UNDP and UN Women regional offices in the Arab States and currently hold board positions at the Pan-African Institute of Municipal Development and the Afghan Youth Ambassadors for Peace Organization.

  • Certified women empowerment coach, having helped hundreds of young women develop their skills for leadership, particularly in early career and personal development.

  • Consulted several NGOs, women’s rights organizations, and UN agencies on digital communications, youth engagement, gender-based violence, forced migration, and political participation.

  • Founded Politics4Her, an intersectional feminist youth-led digital platform and global movement advocating for the inclusive participation of young women and girls in politics and leadership.

  • My expertise as a speaker has been sought by international bodies including the United Nations, UN Global Compact, Population Council, UNHCR, IOM, UNDP, UNODC, the African Union, Girl Up, Sciences Po Paris, and GNWP.

    I speak on gender-based violence, youth and women's political participation from Global Majority countries, forced migration, climate justice, and peacebuilding.
