I also had the chance to engage in thought-provoking discussions with fellow delegates about current global struggles, sharing insights based on our diverse backgrounds. On that note, it was a great opportunity that delegates were invited to visit the Diplomatische Akademie Wien, the oldest professional institution in Vienna, and the United Nations Office in Vienna. I would like to offer my gratitude to Voice For Rights International Association and partners involved for organizing such a wonderful conference. It was indeed a four-day full of meats!
Looking forward to more eye-opening opportunities in the future!

A special note of appreciation goes to Voice for Rights International Association — the organization that gave me the platform, believed in my purpose, and made it possible for me to receive this prestigious recognition at the United Nations in Bangkok. Your trust and encouragement have been a guiding light throughout my journey.

I had the amazing opportunity to attend The Diplomat’s Training Program, organized by Teaching Pakistan and Voice For Rights International Association Voice for Rights International, held in Baku, Azerbaijan this April.

As a 19-year-old on her first-ever solo international trip, everything about this experience was new, overwhelming, and exciting all at once. It still feels unreal that my parents trusted me enough to let me travel alone — across borders, across cultures — to represent myself and my country in a room full of global changemakers.

This wasn’t just a training, it was a deep dive into some of the most critical issues our world is facing right now. From climate change, environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss, to the broader frameworks of international diplomacy and youth advocacy, every session offered something valuable. Every discussion challenged me to think bigger.

What made it even more meaningful was the incredible diversity of people I got to meet. Young professionals, activists, and aspiring diplomats from across the globe — all in one space, exchanging ideas, sharing cultures, and building bridges beyond borders. It reminded me that no matter where we come from, we’re all fighting for a future that’s more just, more sustainable, and more united.

This program helped me grow in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Looking back, I feel so grateful for the people I met, the lessons I learned, and the version of myself that came back stronger, braver and more inspired.

The speakers during the conference quoted Nelson Mandela a couple of times, so let me do the same in this post.

"It is in your hands to make a better world for all who live in it." - Nelson Mandela

It was not in my 2025 bucket list to step foot in a United Nations building, but it is something I had always dreamed of. Thanks to Voice For Rights International Association, I was given the opportunity to be one of the delegates from over 50 countries and participate in the International Diplomats Conference held in Bangkok, Thailand. Speakers from across the world gave their insights and stances on advocacies relating to the Sustainable Development Goals, and the main speaker, Dr. Aneel Salman, discussed Leadership, Diplomacy, and Development in a Divided World.

At the United Nations Conference Center, the delegates had been awarded as Global Peace Ambassadors. At this time of political tension, conflict, and war, we, global youth leaders, have to take a step in becoming a voice for the voiceless. It was a great privilege and honor to meet and engage with people from around the world, for the second time. And thus, we continue to work together moving forward.

Thank you Voice For Rights International Association, and dear delegates, for the amazing experience! Let's see each other again in the future <3

Honoured to represent my country at the International Diplomatic Conference in Bangkok, Thailand. 🇹🇭🌍

One of my biggest takeaways: Human beings are not just numbers. Every person is a story, a vision, and a voice that deserves to be heard.

Ambition is never too loud.
And change is never too far - when we work together.

A huge thank you to Voice for Rights for bringing together changemakers from around the globe to shape a better, more inclusive future - with youth at the forefront.

Here’s to being the change our world needs! 💪🏻

I SPOKE AT THE UNITED NATIONS
From Delhi 🇮🇳 to THE UN. 🇺🇳
Yes, I packed more dreams than outfits.

(And yes, I’m still processing it.)

My heart is full as I type that I spoke at the UN and was among the 14 speakers at this conference amongst 200+ delegates.

None of this would have happened without Voice For Rights International
Truly grateful for eternity. 🫶🏻

I cannot express enough gratitude to the Voice For Rights International who believed in me and the ever talented and lovely fellow delegates (now friends)🫶🏻
And everyone else who believed in me, especially my family, friends and teachers who said I could do it, even when I didn’t believe in myself.

Turkey was beautiful on its own — but it was the people who made it truly magical 🤍

Last month, I had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of the International Leadership Program in Istanbul with Voice For Rights International Association, proudly representing India.

Alongside 50 inspiring delegates from across the globe, the conference focused on youth leadership across borders, resilience, and leading with intention. But what stood out to me the most was listening to the powerful, personal journeys of the delegates and how in the face of adversity, every person in that room chose to act beyond themselves, to become a catalyst for others, and to extend support where it was needed most - to me that’s what true leadership looks like.

A huge thank you to Syed Kazam Ali and the entire VFRI team for bringing us all together and creating a space for us to learn and connect.

A quiet look back at a journey that spoke volumes! 🙌
