Tahmena Bokhari is a consultant, educator, professor, registered social worker, facilitator, global citizen, spokesperson and writer on community issues, and a leader within the women’s and South Asian communities in the Greater Toronto Area. She has worked with governments, community organizations, and academic institutions. Her work includes consultations on policy/ program development in the areas of settlement, violence against women, gender analysis, diversity and inclusivity, international/ community development, and organizational development. She states, “My work so far has been entrenched in ‘the local’ yet much influenced by ‘the global’. It is my belief that individuals do not function in isolation but are reflections of the social structures in which they live. If we create better “social structures than we can influence and create better persons.”
