Leadership

Yasmin Vafa

Co-founder & Executive Director
Yasmin Vafa is the co-founder and Executive Director of Rights4Girls. An award-winning human rights attorney and advocate, Yasmin's work focuses on the intersections of race, gender, violence, and the law. She is a nationally recognized expert on gendered violence who has successfully advocated for several laws at the federal and state levels, testified before the U.S. Senate, state legislatures, and international human rights bodies, and co-authored several reports exposing widespread the criminalization of girls who have survived violence. Yasmin and her work have been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, National Public Radio, PBS NewsHour, ABC News, and more. She currently serves on the U.S. Advisory Committee on the Sex Trafficking of Children and Youth, is a judicial educator for the National Judicial Institute on Domestic Child Sex Trafficking—an intensive judicial training she co-designed and leads with the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, and is a founding co-chair of World Without Exploitation— the nation's largest anti-trafficking coalition with over 220 member organizations working to end human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
