I am Aleena Afzal, a final-year BS International Relations student at Air University, Islamabad. Previously, I interned at the Institute of Strategic Studies, where I researched the ethical challenges of autonomous weapons and the role of the UN, and the impact of social media on conflict policy, as well as transgender occupations in Pakistan. My research interests include gender studies, arms control, climate advocacy, and the politicization of the nuclear non-proliferation regime.
