hawwa shahira

I am a dedicated legal professional with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sharia and Law and a license to practice law in the Maldives, obtained after passing the first-ever bar exam in 2023. With over two years of experience, I have worked extensively on human rights violation cases, ensuring justice and accountability for fundamental rights as enshrined in the Maldivian constitution.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Legal Officer at the Maldives Civil Aviation Authority, where I am responsible for advising on legal matters, reviewing regulations, and representing the authority in judicial matters. My previous role as an Investigator at the Ombudspersons Office for Transitional Justice allowed me to compile investigation reports and advocate for victims of human rights violations, further solidifying my commitment to justice and reform.
