Mahira Khan Appointed as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador
After walking the ramp at Paris Fashion Week, our ‘Superstar’ girl Mahira Khan adds yet another feather in her cap as she has now been appointed as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador for Pakistan.
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) shared on Twitter that the Pakistani diva will now serve as their goodwill ambassador and are looking forward to her services to make this world a better place for the refugees.
Mahira Khan wrote that she is grateful and honored to be a UNCHR ambassador for Pakistan. She added that she’s proud to be born in a country that has opened its arms to refugees for over 40 years.

Mahira Khan has previously volunteered for UNHCR at Afghan refugee camps. She’s one of those celebrities who are very vocal when it comes to talking about social and human rights issues. From time to time, we have Mahira using her fame to raise awareness about refugees and the problem they face while living thousands of miles away from their home.

At the ceremony, Mahira said that a majority of refugees are being hosted by developing countries, and a sense of shared responsibility has yet to be achieved.
“More needs to be done to support countries and communities which host large numbers of refugees.”
UNHCR’S Assistant High Commissioner for Operations, George Okoth-Obbo, said that he’s delighted to see a renowned Pakistani helping them in their cause. He thinks that high-profile supporters such as Mahira Khan will serve as a symbol of the partnership between Pakistan and the world.
Here’s what he said:
“I am delighted to see renowned Pakistani opinion movers coming forward in support of the refugee cause, making their voices heard locally, nationally and globally, and having a very strong influence on youth.”
