Azima Zaidi

Former Exchange Student to the U.S

I am a youth activist and former exchange student to the US through the YES (Youth Exchange & Study) program, from 2011-2012.

I have recently completed my Master of Science in Peace & Conflict Studies (IR) in 2019 from National University of Modern Languages, Islamabad.

Currently I am working at United Nations Development Program, Pakistan as a Social Inclusion Officer – Youth Empowerment Component. My passion lies in advocating the inculcation of Human Rights, Youth Engagement and Inclusive Education within the fabric of our community as a way to promote change. I love what I do and hope to make this world a better place for all!
