Graduate Profiles Detail South Asia

I work on advancing and protecting human rights in the context of business-related abuses, including workplace harassment, child labor, and the rights of workers. My focus also extends to promoting alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms and ensuring access to justice. This involves developing a toolkit on the role of Sindh’s parliamentary bodies in the design, delivery, and oversight of Business & Human Rights policies.

Our children are our future, and practices like child labor severely harm their potential. Similarly, Pakistan ranks low on gender equality, and advancing harassment-free workplaces is essential. I am passionate about increasing access to justice and advancing human rights, particularly for vulnerable groups. I remain deeply concerned about workers who aren't paid minimum and living wages and face poor safety conditions. Every worker deserves to work with dignity and respect, and it’s crucial to create an environment where their rights are protected.

Ultimately, the opportunity to make a meaningful difference and ensure access to justice is what gives my work its true value and purpose.

A UK qualification, including a Bar at Law and Master's degree, was key in securing this role. The legal training provided expertise in human rights and corporate law, while the Bar honed my advocacy skills. The Master's deepened my understanding of business and human rights, equipping me to navigate complex legal and ethical challenges in the field.

Stay deeply committed to addressing human rights violations globally, understanding that abuse anywhere undermines justice and the integrity of our world. Approach your work with kindness and empathy, with a genuine passion for justice.  These qualities are essential in understanding and representing vulnerable communities. Above all, remain passionate and persistent, as human rights law can be challenging, but it is deeply rewarding when driven by a commitment to making a positive impact in the world.
