She holds the record for being the first female film director to have won two Academy Awards by the age of 37.

There are very few people who made us proud in their field and lift the name of the nation. Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is one of them and deserves to be on the list.

The organization is founded by a lauded British portrait and documentary photographer named Platon. The aim of this human rights firm is to create a visual language that breaks barriers, expands dignity, fights discrimination, and enlists the public to support human rights around the world.

It encourages to create something meaningful through visuals that break the language barrier and spread dignity, fights discrimination, and enlist the public to support human rights around the world. Each year the organization hosts a fundraising program and every year human rights defender award is given to those who stand out as a leader in helping and creating a better future.
