About Us

As a survivor of the Afghan civil war, I dedicated my life to women and little girls of Afghanistan who continue to experience multidimensional challenges in all walks of life. Besides my ongoing efforts to get Australia’s attention towards the Afghan cause, I have worked to enhance philanthropic and developmental assistance to Afghanistan. 

 

As the founder president of Women Empowerment and Leadership (WEL), we institutionalised our efforts to directly reach out to Afghanistan’s marginalized voices. My identity as an Afghan-Australian and my work-experience with international organisations contribute to my broader Asian identity. Through Peace for Asia, we endeavour to represent the voices of Asia’s women, minorities, refugees and all other vulnerable populations. It is high time that no nation or a power-bloc should attempt to dictate or determine Asia’s destiny. Respect for international law, adherence to Human Rights and partnerships for sustainable future are undeniably the key pillars to envisioning a united and prosperous Asia. 

 

With ongoing socio-political and developmental challenges, Asia needs a decentralised and cosmopolitan support structure composed of international organisations, dedicated activists, academicians and well-wishers. Through Peace for Asia, we shall aspire to amplify such conversations and build an inclusive and sustainable Asian family.
