From the serene valleys of Ghizer in Gilgit, Pakistan, emerges a remarkable story of ambition, passion, and dedication. Bushra Khanum, a proud daughter of this small yet beautiful valley, has been selected to represent Pakistan at the prestigious Global Peace Summit in New York, USA, in 2024.
Not only is she the sole Pakistani delegate at this esteemed international forum, but she also carries the honor of representing WWF-Pakistan as a Climate Change Delegate.
This summit will unite visionary leaders and professionals from across the globe, all driven by a shared commitment to creating positive change in their communities. As an environmentalist and a dynamic youth leader, Bushra will raise the voice of the youth and collaborate with other global leaders to tackle pressing issues such as climate change, global peace, good health, human rights, and poverty reduction. She will actively engage in campaigns and advocacy sessions, contributing to decision-making processes and policy formulation at various levels.
Bushra’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Hailing from Gilgit, a region deeply impacted by climate change, she brings a wealth of stories and experiences that resonate with the global community. Her participation in the Global Peace Summit will not only amplify these voices but also equip her with invaluable insights and strategies that she plans to bring back to her community to drive meaningful and impactful action.
Global Peace Chain, a worldwide peacebuilding organization headquartered in the USA, stands as a testament to the power of youth in driving global change. With a mission of “PEACE BY DIALOGUE,” the organization fosters diversity, inclusivity, harmony, coexistence, and compassion. As part of this influential network, Bushra will join forces with other youth to raise their voices against social injustice, cultural ethnicity, and religious intolerance.
Bushra’s journey to this global stage is marked by her relentless pursuit of excellence. She previously presented her project, ‘APWASI-WWF Pakistan,’ at the South Asia Regional Workshop in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2023, showcasing her leadership and expertise. Her exceptional leadership skills were further recognized when she attended the Global Pakistan Alumni Academy Convocation in Thailand earlier this year. Now, she is set to make her mark once again by representing Pakistan on the global stage at the Global Peace Summit in New York in 2024.
Bushra Khanum’s story is a shining example of how one person’s dedication and vision can inspire an entire nation. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to her for making Pakistan proud on the international stage.
Her journey is a powerful reminder that no dream is too big, no goal too distant when one is fueled by passion and purpose.
