Marwah Sadat (she/her)
Vice-President of Project Development
Marwah Sadat is a first-generation Afghan-Canadian passionate about addressing global health disparities and understanding the root causes of poverty and social injustice. She holds a BSc in Molecular Biology and Anthropology from the University of Toronto, and a MSc in Global Health from McMaster University. She is currently pursuing her MD at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. With her interdisciplinary educational, NGO, and research background, Marwah understands the importance of dialogue with communities to better incorporate peoples’ lived experiences, narratives, and Indigenous knowledge as a step towards decolonizing sustainable development and aid. For this reason, Marwah joined YSYF for its mission to empower women and youth in culturally relevant ways that also emphasize self-determination. In her free time, she can be found in a café with her nose in a book while sipping on (many) cups of coffee.
