Summia Tora
Summia Tora is the founder and executive director of Dosti Network. She grew up as an Afghan refugee in Pakistan and has advocated for just refugee resettlement processes in the United States, Pakistan, and Greece. The Dosti Network was borne out of Summia’s efforts to evacuate her own family from Afghanistan in August 2021. Through this process, Summia witnessed first-hand the inequities marginalized Afghans face while trying to access aid within the country as well as while trying to flee. She created Dosti to address these inequities. Previously, she spearheaded an initiative focused on educating girls on menstrual hygiene and making reusable sanitary pads in Afghanistan and Pakistan. She has also worked with World Bank and Schmidt Futures to make scholarships and education accessible to refugees, especially girls. She is Afghanistan’s first Rhodes Scholar with a Masters of Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, and currently pursuing a Masters in Human Rights Law.
