Early Life

Safoora born in 1993 at her residence in Kishtwar, she went to Delhi in 1998 with her family, when her father posted in neighboring Faridabaad, part of National Capital Region (NCR).

As an activist, she encouraged the youth and fellow members to fight for their rights. In the year 2020, she joined anti-CAA protests in Delhi. As a result, she was arrested by Delhi Police on April 13, with police claiming she was among those who organised an anti-CAA protest and road blockade under the Jafrabad Metro station in Delhi on February 22-23. The Delhi riots are widely acknowledged to have been sparked by incendiary comments made by Kapil Mishra, a leader from the ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata party (BJP). Safoora has also charged under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
