About Hashir
Having worked in national development programs that directly relate to SDG-5 (Gender Equality), Hashir has witnessed the impact that gender stereotypes, prejudice and systemic oppression have on the psyche of not just an individual, but also communities and society as a whole. The resolve to work towards a fairer, more egalitarian society drives Hashir to find creative solutions that maximize impact. His expertise ranges from conceptualizing and conducting qualitative research to distilling insights and strategizing behavioural change to find new approaches to social development issues.
