Ufra Mir is the first and the only Peace Psychologist active in the Valley, who is working in the direction of providing help to the women victims of the Kashmir conflict. For the most part, people look at tragedies and initiate mitigation efforts for the physical damages and the lost manpower. But it is always the women who get victimised repeatedly, both on the personal as well as social level.
Ms. Mir has had a keen interest in psychology ever since she was in high school and knew she wanted to make a career in it, all for the betterment of her homeland. She uses various methods of expressive therapy, including creative writing, storytelling, and art therapy to help people heal, using their pain to express in creative ways.
She has also worked with the US Department of Peace (USA), World Economic Forum (India), Nobel Peace Prize forums (USA) and the Swedish Institute (Sweden), among other prestigious organisations.
