Dr. Javid Pymanee

I have been an advocate for freedom, peace, and human rights, with a deep and unwavering focus on Afghanistan. My journey began as a young man born into a Tajik Afghanistani family. Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of extremism, repression, and the systematic silencing of civil society, experiences that compelled me to speak out and resist injustice. Through sharp political analysis, public commentary, and advocacy, I amplify the struggles of the people of Afghanistan, particularly women, minorities, and civil society, while calling for accountability, freedom, and democratic values both within Afghanistan and across the global Afghanistan diaspora. I believe strongly in truth, resilience, and the inherent dignity of every human being. Hear more of my story by clicking on the video below.
