Born on March 24, 1988, Abdul Qayum War has consistently stood up for the rights of the oppressed, advocating for those who do not have the means or the platform to defend themselves. Raised in the serene yet politically charged region of Jammu and Kashmir, Abdul Qayum was exposed early on to the complexities of human rights violations, conflict, and the challenges faced by marginalized communities.
