Harshani Dharmadasa

Senior Director

New York, US

Harshani is the driving force behind the Our Future Agenda program, working her magic with high-level champions to deliver a bold vision for young people and young countries.

With a fierce passion for fusing creativity with policy, she builds frameworks that champion equity and justice for communities that often get overlooked.

Over the past 15 years, she’s made waves at places like BRAC, UN Women, and the Open Society Foundations, mastering human rights law and litigation along the way.

When she’s not shaking things up in the advocacy world, you’ll catch her exploring the vibrant streets of new cities, creating eye-catching murals, or cozying up with her mischievous cats.

Harshani truly believes that community and creativity are the secret ingredients for igniting social movements!
