“My name is Mojan Farshchi, and I am a Canadian immigration/human rights lawyer specializing in refugee protection, migration justice, and climate displacement. I have over five years of legal advocacy experience in private practice, including appearances before Canada’s Federal Court, Federal Court of Appeal and the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. I hold a Juris Doctor degree from UBC Law School and hold an Advanced LL.M. in European and International Human Rights Law (Valedictorian) from Leiden University in the Netherlands.
I have previously served for approximately 3.5 years on the Board of Directors of Flavours of Hope, a Vancouver-based non-profit supporting refugee women’s economic empowerment, gaining strong governance, strategic planning and financial oversight experience. My work reflects a deep commitment to Amnesty’s mission: centering marginalized voices, defending rights through law and policy, and building global solidarity. I would bring to the Board a rigorous legal background, proven advocacy skills, and a collaborative, accountability-driven approach to governance.”
