Biography

Zofeen T. Ebrahim is an independent journalist who has written extensively on development issues including climate change, water, energy, renewables, sanitation, health, gender, child rights, women’s rights and health, diseases etc., and how these impact our lives every day. She finds Pakistan a good place to be a journalist in as there is absolutely no dearth of stories. "Every stone you turn, you will find a story under it," she says.

She contributes regularly to national English dailies like The Dawn (where she worked from 1994-2001) and The News as well as international media outlets including the Inter Press Service, The Guardian, The Third Pole, SciDev.net, Index on Censorship, Thomson Reuters Foundation, etc. In between she carries out consultancies for INGOs and NGOs.
