Telling her story. Continuing her fight.
Vision
To inspire a more just, inclusive, and compassionate world by preserving and promoting the legacy of Dr. Sima Samar – Afghanistan’s enduring voice for human rights, dignity, and the empowerment of women and marginalized communities.
Mission
Friends of Sima Samar is a global community of advocates, artists, and allies dedicated to advancing the life’s work of Dr. Sima Samar. Anchored by a feature film that brings her story to the world, our mission goes beyond cinema. We support initiatives that reflect her enduring commitment to education, equality, and human dignity—championing the rights of women, minorities, and the marginalized in Afghanistan and beyond. Through storytelling, scholarship, and solidarity, we are building a living legacy to inspire and empower generations to come.
