description: "Selay Ghaffar in Farah province in western Afghanistan. She is the daughter of a freedom fighter and left-wing intellectual. When she was 3-months old, her family fled Afghanistan to live as a refugee in neighboring Iran. As she was born into an intellectual family, she grew up with high motivation to always fight and struggle for the rights of devastated people. She started her career as a social activist by helping Afghan children and women in refugee camps back in Pakistan.\"I saw children who had no shoes and not enough food to eat and I saw women who were repeatedly subjected to domestic and sexual violence. And even though I was only 13, it was then that my “career” in humanitarian work really began.\""
