About the Millennium Fellow
I am Safayet Zamil Nowshan. I am passionate about rights & rights based approach to social inequalities.
Recently I have been selected as one of the 15 UN Youth Champion for Disarmament by United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs(UNODA). The ODA selected 15 champions from over 1000 applications from over 128 countries.
Prior to this I had been working as a Youth Advisory Group Member of United Nations Human Rights, which provided me with the opportunities to join Asia Pacific Regional Dialogue on Human Rights, Bangkok, EU NGO Forum on Human Rights, Brussels, UN High Level Event on 75th Anniversary of UDHR at Geneva. These engagements armed me with the knowledge of the global architecture of Human Rights mechanism and global advocacy procedures. With my prior experience in working at community level throughout my Millennium Fellowship journey gave me opportunities to engage with young people from different background and understand local context. As well as I am working with the Commonwealth Youth Peace Ambassadors Network(CYPAN) which also is a driving factor to understand the necessity of disarmament for global Peace.
