Since August 15th 2021, I have led Mahboba's Promise’s crisis response to ensure the safety of orphans, widows and staff, and have expanded our humanitarian relief operations. Over 100 individuals were evacuated, including the largest cohort of unacompannied children in Australia's history. You can learn about this mission here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-03/sourosh-and-mahboba-audacious-afghanistan-rescue-mission/101768796In March I led our first humanitarian mission into Afghanistan following the regime change. We were able to provide emergency relief for thousands of women and children, including in live conflict zones. New projects were also developed, including an initiative that will provide alternative high school education for over 10,000 young women currently barred from schools.

Future Leaders for Gender Equality is an initiative Co-founded by myself and other young leaders in response to the national crisis of sexual harassment within Australian high schools. The program seeks to empower student leaders to identify gender equality issues in their school environments and develop practical solutions in response to these issues. Future Leaders provides mentoring to students to facilitate the implementation of these solutions. Mentoring is supplemented with leadership events aiming to upskill students as leaders and allowing them the opportunity to learn and reflect with leading changemakers in the human rights space. The events to date include: - 'Leadership Starts with You,' self-care and the building of moral courage with Elizabeth Broderick.-'Supporting Others: Listening and Creating Safe spaces' with Andrew Colvin.-‘Engaging Resistance and Making Your Case For Change’ with Amani Haydar
