Humaira Alim
Humaira Alim is a dedicated women's rights and education activist from Afghanistan who fled to Pakistan in December 2022 after facing threats from the Taliban for her activism. She has been a vocal advocate for women's rights, organizing protests against the Taliban's oppressive policies that stripped Afghan women of their rights to work and education. Living in constant fear for her safety and that of her two young children, Alim describes her current situation as a nightmare, as she faces the looming threat of deportation back to Afghanistan, where she believes she would be killed.
