Benafsha Yaqoobi was born blind in Afghanistan and became a disability rights activist.[1] She studied Persian literature in Iran and then took two masters degrees in Kabul, before working at the Attorney General's Office.[2] With her husband Mahdi Salami, who is also blind, she founded the Rahyab Organisation to assist and educate the visually impaired.[2]

From 2019 onwards, Yaqoobi was a commissioner at the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) until she fled Afghanistan with her husband in 2021 after the Taliban retook power. On their third attempt to leave, they made it to Kabul airport and traveled to the UK.[3]
