An Ordinary Professional Social Worker in Exceptional Circumstances
I have grown up witnessing the horrors of terrorism. I don’t remember a single day that passed without hearing the heart-wrenching tales of deaths, injuries, blasts in Pakistan. Meanwhile, as a Student of Social Work discipline, I was reading Jane Adams – the mother of social work – and William Henry Beveridge, the pioneer of the modern welfare system in the UK. Their teaching motivated me to volunteer myself during the worst era of terrorism. I have started my volunteer work for a School for Hearing Impaired Children. After that, my volunteer contributions never stop.
Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.
I have completed my Master of Philosophy in Social Work with distinction. Alongside, I have established myself as an independent researcher and published dozens of research papers, newspaper articles, and e-books. My research work is recognized in various international and national research journals. My writings enlighten the readers about emerging challenges and issues related to human rights, development and policy. My writings are widely appreciated by various journalists, students, policy analysts.

Besides, I am Practicing Social Worker.
