Activist in Residence Interview Series: Rehana Hashmi

The Activist in Residence program (AiR) is a new initiative from the Carleton University Department of Law and Legal Studies. As part of this new program, the Department’s inaugural Activist in Residence, Rehana Hashmi, will be interviewing human right activists from around the world to learn more about their life, activist work and the strategies activists employ in pursuit of defending human rights. However, for the first interview in this series we focus on the life and work of Rehana Hashmi. Hashmi is a human rights defender and activist whose over 30 years of advocacy focuses on protecting women and minorities in Pakistan, her home country.
