Mir Sabeen Gulrez

SRINAGAR, DEC 02: Syed Junaid Sadaat, a name synonymous with unwavering dedication to social causes, a lawyer by profession, and chairman of the White Globe NGO, emerges as a beacon of hope in the fight against domestic violence. In the quiet strength of his demeanour lies a fierce commitment to dismantling the pervasive darkness that shrouds countless lives. As a promising leader and social activist, Junaid’s journey is a testament to the power of compassion and resilience in the face of societal challenges.

In the heart of Srinagar, Junaid Sadaat stands tall, not merely as an individual but as a force catalyzing change. His foray into social activism was not by chance but a response to a calling deeply rooted in empathy and a burning desire to alleviate the silent suffering endured by victims of domestic violence.
Early Life and Inspiration:
It was amidst these formative years that he encountered [his close friend, name changed to Isha, a domestic violence victim], which ignited the spark of activism within him. The seeds of compassion sown in his youth would later blossom into a full-fledged commitment to address one of society’s most pressing issues – domestic violence.
To truly understand Junaid’s journey, one must delve into the nuanced layers of his upbringing and the pivotal moments that shaped his perspective on justice, equality, and human dignity.
“I was always ready, either motivated by profession or by my own self, to be a front for domestic violence victims. My perspectives changed when I saw that someone close to me was a victim,” said Junaid with a deep sigh.
While talking to journalist Mir Sabeen Gulrez, Adv Syed Junaid Sadaat said, “Now I only want to be a sigh of relief to those who can’t go to court. They can come to me, and I will help them. I am here only for my people. Working with an NGO was just for them, and the main aim was to connect with youth and those who feel that they have been left with nothing.”
“Every year I try to take the maximum cases of domestic violence and to solve them. Alhamdulillah, we are succeeding. Either via the judicial system or with the help of locals, I have always tried to resolve the cases,” Junaid further stated.
