A male feminist who has very recently become a women's rights advocate - that was a huge transformation I have undergone in my life.I co-founded the Psycho-social Development and Support Organization based in Afghanistan. Other than the psychological support and activities, we have dedicated a huge portion of our focus on activism. I believe men play a very crucial role in elimination of violence against women. And their engagement can be achieved immensely through the public awareness - spreading the words, speaking out, and letting them know what women experience.

My Vision for the Future:  A College Professor and Social Activist My Areas of Expertise:  Psychology & Independent Advocacy My Languages:  Persian, English
