Social Activist
Zarmeena Zar started off with different NGOs while studying. She encountered many hurdles and challenges while working as social activist but she wasn’t the kind of girl to give up. That came to be the reason to possess many awards and certificate on her name like outstanding/best performance, young social activist and writer awards.
She has an inclination to raise her voice against child labour. This is why she chose to do her thesis on the social and economic condition of child labours. Not only that, Zarmeena intends to start her organization by the name of “Markaz-e-Yaqin” in future for the betterment of those children forced to do child labour, through providing them free of cost education and financial help to make their future bright.

“The pen is mightier than the sword.”
This quote has turned out to be inspiration for her to start writing for the enhancement of community. She started writing columns and articles in different newspapers, magazines and websites. She believes in women empowerment so writes on this often. She has been against child labor and contributed her efforts through writing on this as well.
