About me
I am a young person of 22, currently studying Computer Software Engineering at the NWFP University of Engineering and Technology,

I started working for the Rights of children in the age of 13 as a child rights activist. A teacher punished me because I was talking to other friend during the class. My hand was severely injured, the school administration didn’t took the case seriously they only stopped the blood. When coming back to home my father took me to hospital there I got 4 stitches in my hand. Then I realized to work for the children rights.

I joined a local organization NCCR: NGOs Coalition on Child Rights and started to work as self advocate. After their trainings I was selected to represent the organization in UNGASS on Children. I learned a lot about the Children Rights and young people Rights after coming back I along with my other friends started a group of young people who were working for the rights of children and adolescents.
