Making the world a better place is the key to our vision for building a new future. For nearly 25 years, we have been creating and initiating change, and not only when it comes to the legal market. We believe that we also have a responsibility to set benchmarks and trends in the wider social area, outside of our day to day legal service to which our Clients and colleagues have become accustomed.
Yet translating this ambitious idea into concrete action takes individuals with a variety of talents, skills and expertise, with diverse experience and the courage to challenge the status quo, who at the same time are passionate, determined and effective – people like Parasto Yari, a prominent Afghan lawyer, activist and defender of human rights.
Parasto will be tasked with actions to support diversity, inclusivity, gender equality and refugee assistance.
Parasto Yari is an internationally renowned activist and defender of women’s and human rights, including the rights of minorities living in Afghanistan.
She has worked for the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) and was Senior Advisor to the State Ministry for Peace of Afghanistan, also having represented Afghanistan at international conferences and events, worked as a legal advisor to non-profit organisations, and lectured at Afghan universities on human rights, international law and criminal law.
