Farah Maliha, Global Digital Engagement Coordinator 

Farah Maliha is the Global Digital Engagement Coordinator at WITNESS, where she leads the coordination of digital engagement strategy across the organization’s global platforms. She supports the development and execution of social media campaigns, helps maintain platform infrastructure and documentation, and works closely with regional and programmatic teams to translate WITNESS’s work into clear, accessible digital content. Her role focuses on building engagement strategies that are grounded in storytelling and designed to connect global audiences with the voices of frontline communities.

Farah’s background in activism began with ActionAid International, where she played a key role in establishing the Activista youth network across Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt. During and after the Arab Spring, she led regional programs focused on youth leadership, women’s rights, and advocacy training, mobilizing and supporting hundreds of young changemakers across the region. She later coordinated multi-country campaigns and partnerships that addressed systemic issues around gender, equity, and access to public services. Before joining WITNESS, Farah worked with the Atlantic Council for International Cooperation (ACIC), where she supported organizational learning and communications by curating stories of partner impact and strengthening public engagement strategies. Her work consistently bridges program design and communications, with a focus on clarity, empathy, and strategy.

Originally from Bangladesh and currently based in Toronto, Canada, Farah holds a BA in International Development and Political Science from Saint Mary’s University, Canada.
