Meet FYF’s Protection Officer, Maysa Shivan

This week on FYF’s “Meet Our Female Leaders” series, we are spotlighting our Protection Officer, Maysa Shivan:

“I am a dedicated Protection Officer who joined FYF because I was driven by my commitment to protect the rights of vulnerable communities. I am passionate about empowering Yezidi women and girls who have faced unimaginable challenges. I appreciate FYF’s comprehensive approach to protection, encompassing long-term recovery, justice, and empowerment. Being a part of a women-led organization empowers me to push boundaries and advocate for gender equality. My work is fuelled by the resilience and strength of survivors, as I strive to create a world free from violence and discrimination.”
