Pakistani blind diplomat, writer and speaker who aims to advocate for rights, touch hearts, move minds and inspire people to live life with a vision!

On #WorldChildrensDay, we honour the voices, hopes, dreams, and limitless potential of children. Investing in their rights today means investing in a peaceful, inclusive, and sustainable future for all. Let’s act with urgency and compassion.


Resilience isn’t about never breaking, it’s about rising every time you do. It’s turning pain into power, perils into purpose, wounds into wisdom and silence into strength. We didn’t walk through fire to burn-we walked through it to be reborn in our own light to live life!


On the International Day of Care and Support, we honor the invisible hands and compassionate hearts that sustain our societies. Let us recognize care and support as a pillar of inclusive development and dignity — where every act of care strengthens our shared humanity.


Echoes of an Empty Heart By Saima Saleem He walks among us with a practiced smile, His heart A barren field where no emotion is sown, For the man who betrays and wounds to survive, Is already a ghost though he pretends to be alive, Selfish hands may grasp the fleeting flame, But…

On #Black Day, we stand with the resilient people of #Kashmir enduring 78 years of occupation, dispossession & erasure. Their struggle is one for dignity, identity & freedom. The world must not stay silent. They deserve justice and right to self-determination.

Ending hunger is not only a moral imperative but a path to sustainable development. On #WorldFoodDay, let us turn policies into pledges, compassion into collective action, and make food security for everyone a reality. All we have to do is: make our small contribution!


On International White Cane Safety Day, we celebrate not blindness, but vision— the courage to walk with purpose, dignity, and faith. The white cane is not a symbol of limitation, but empowerment!
