Nazi Karim is a research fellow with the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, conducting research on women’s access to the health system in Afghanistan. She is also a final-year PhD student at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Her thesis explores the violence of everyday life, from direct and indirect violence to the embodied and invisible gendered experience of violence, with a specific ethnographic focus on current experiences of Afghanistani women under the Taliban regime. Prior to this, Karim has conducted ethnographic research with street working children of Kabul in Afghanistan and has also served as a Lecturer at Gawharshad University. Her journey as a researcher and academic is inspired by her lived experience in Afghanistan alongside years of working with women and children of Afghanistan in humanitarian fields within war and conflict zones.
