also receiving an award as the 2012
Hall Of Fame Honoree. A few respected
men and women in uniform are also scheduled to receive awards for their
sacrifice and hard work.
For the past year, more than 40 individuals have worked hard to identify
worthy candidates for this award ceremony. Soraya was known for them as
an advocate of human rights and leader in the community.
From a young age she has been tirelessly dedicating her time, energy,
and resources to lead and mobilize campaigns for the advancement of
human rights around the globe. Her work has often endangered her life,
but she has continued on with more urgency and resilience.
Soraya's list of activism and accomplishments are seemingly endless.
Some of the highlights are mentioned below:
She organized and chaired the first international conference for women
in post-Saddam Iraq. She also represented the first Iranian and Iraqi
Kurdish women's caucus in the United Nations' Commission on the Status
of Women in 2008.
Her articles in English, Farsi, and Kurdish are regularly published in
several international media outlets and magazines. She is a regular
commentator on radio broadcasts such as Voice of America, KPFK, Tishk
TV, Radio SBS, Radio sedaye zan Vancouver
.
Soraya serves the Los Angeles community by helping elderly immigrates,
providing them with mental health and community resources. She provides
this very volatile population with the respect and compassion they
deserve.
Soraya has co-founded several non-governmental organizations and holds
advisory and board positions in NGOs that are raising public awareness
on the abuses of human rights in Iran.
She is currently the acting president of Kurdish Community of Southern
California. She works extensively with Amnesty International, Human
Rights Federation, UNAUSA, UNWomen, and other advocacy groups.
She has often been a leader in the community and has helped pave the way
for other women to follow their passions. In 2011 she broke cumbersome
traditions by becoming the first MS. Kurdistan during the Miss
Exoti-Lady Pageants.
Soraya has a graduate degree and works full-time as a supervisor. She is
a loving wife and mother of two children who are in college.
This event is organized by Maria Amor, president of We Care For The
World organization. Thirteen other organizations have sponsored this
event.
