Hania Aamir Named UN Women Pakistan's Goodwill Ambassador

Pakistani actress and youth icon Hania Aamir has been officially appointed as the new National Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women Pakistan, a role through which she will champion gender equality, women’s empowerment, and social change across the country. 

In accepting the role, Hania expressed deep humility and resolve, stating this appointment is more than a title—it is a responsibility to represent women and girls whose voices are often marginalized. 

Her wide popularity, especially among younger demographics, positions her to engage meaningfully in awareness campaigns and advocacy work. 

Hania succeeds Muniba Mazari, who served as UN Women Pakistan’s goodwill ambassador until August 2025 and continues to be an influential advocate for inclusion and women’s rights.

In her new capacity, Hania will actively support UN Women initiatives in areas such as women’s leadership, digital inclusion, economic empowerment, climate action, education, and the prevention of gender-based violence. 

Her appointment comes at a moment when Hania is gaining international recognition. She recently starred in the Punjabi-language film Sardaar Ji 3, expanding her appeal across borders, and was honored with a “Global Star Award” at the 10th HUM Awards in Houston for her influence in entertainment and advocacy. These achievements bolster her credibility as a public figure capable of bridging entertainment and social purpose.

UN Women Pakistan’s Country Representative, Jamshed M. Kazi, praised Hania’s courage, public outreach, and capacity to galvanize support for gender equality efforts. The organization hopes she will help turn awareness into tangible impact for women and girls across Pakistan.

Beyond the glitz of film and media, Hania’s new role is anchored in the urgent mission of creating safer, fairer spaces for women in every sphere of Pakistani life. By lending her voice, presence, and influence, she has the potential to amplify stories that must be heard, support policies that must change, and inspire a generation to imagine a society where gender justice is not an aspiration but a reality.
