From Oppression to Empowerment: A Journey of Resistance and Hope | Nilofar Ayoubi | TEDxKazimierz

In her personal and very moving talk, Nilofar is sharing with us the story of her journey from oppression, she experienced in Afganistan as a woman, to moving to Poland where she as an activist is helping the communities in investing in the protection of women human rights defenders. Since arriving in Poland, Nilofar has become an internationally recognised advocate for Afghan women and girls, participating in dozens of conferences and meetings in Europe at the invitation of the EU Special Representative for Afghanistan and the UN Special Rapporteur for Afghanistan. Nilofar served for a US NGO as a special consultant for
Afghanistan, where she was directly responsible for supporting the identification and evacuation of women's rights activists and victims of forced marriage and gender based violence.
Nilofar attended the UN Human Rights Council 50 and spoke on the human rights violations Afghan women and girls experience under the Taliban. Nilofar currently serves as a representative for the UN Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund. Nilofar continues to serve as the CEO of Asia Times, ensuring accurate reporting on news stories from Afghanistan, including the continued assault on the rights of Afghan women and girls. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
