Biography

Zhino Beigzadehbabamiri is a Kurdish human rights activist, designer, and co-founder of Daughters of Justice Campaign. Her work emerged from deeply personal circumstances — her father, Rezgar Beigzadeh Babamiri, is one of five Kurdish political prisoners sentenced to death in Iran for aiding wounded protesters during the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising.

Driven by courage and an unshakable sense of justice, Zhino has mobilized international attention to the plight of Kurdish prisoners, advocating through global human rights networks. Daughters of Justice Campaign has evolved into a powerful collective voice demanding justice, transparency, and an end to executions in Iran.

Zhino’s advocacy reflects a new generation of Kurdish women who transform pain into purpose, standing for life, freedom, and dignity.

Sardar Pashaei

Founder & Head of Athletes

Sardar Pashaei is a Kurdish activist, former world wrestling champion, and a relentless advocate for justice. At just five years old, he experienced oppression firsthand, visiting his imprisoned father every Thursday.


Banned from competing internationally due to his political family background, he eventually fled Iran and became a U.S. citizen. He has dedicated his time and voice to supporting the Woman, Life, Freedom movement, working with U.S. Congress, the European Parliament, and international organizations to raise awareness about the Iranian people’s struggle.


His activism has come at a personal cost—his younger brother and sister have both been arrested and tortured in Iran. Today, he leads Justice & Freedom for Iran, bringing together survivors, activists, and athletes to work toward a democratic and secular Iran.
