Parisa Sekandari came into the world under Taliban rule in Afghanistan.

Some two decades later, the second time they rose to power, her life would dramatically change overnight.

Now a Refugee Advocate and co-creator of the collectives 'Amplify Afghan Women' and 'Community for Humanity', Parisa is one of the 'refugee heroes' fronting the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre's annual telethon coming up on World Refugee Day, Thursday 20th June.
