About me

I'm the campaign manager for our Women's Rights in Afghanistan campaign.

I've been working on Afghanistan for over 5 years, including a year living and working in Kabul.  As well as campaigning on gender issues I like gardening, climbing and hiking.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
