You’ll go behind the scenes of inspiring moments when ordinary people were able to win against grave injustice.

Learn how grassroots justice movements in the Philippines overcame one authoritarian regime and then, thirty years later, adapted their strategies to confront another authoritarian threat. 

Learn how to take law out of books and courtrooms and combine it, instead, with our greatest asset: our own people power.

On that day, I shared more than information. I shared a fragment of my story and my childhood that has taken away from me at the age of 12.

I spoke about the day Taliban took power in Afghanistan in 2021. It was the day my education, something I loved deeply, Something I believed would shape my future. Suddenly, it was taken away from me. School was never just a building to me. It was my dream, my freedom, my hope, and my path toward becoming someone who could help others. Losing it felt like losing my entire future.

During the interview, I mentioned my volunteer work with the Afghans Better Life Organization located in Afghanistan, which it works to reduce poverty and educate girls under the rule of Taliban. I also shared about the Refugee Education and Development project. It's a project of Plan International Canada that operates in West Africa and provides education for more than 40,000 children displaced due to crises such as conflict, climate change, and poverty.

I really thank Plan Canada and the Girls Belong Here initiative for giving me this opportunity to speak on behalf of millions of Afghan girls who education, freedom and future have been stolen from them in Afghanistan.
