About Author
Hi I am Rahele Behzadi
I am an author, human rights defender, and founder of IFMA. I live in Stockholm, where I devote my time to writing, creating, and contributing to issues related to justice and human rights.
I hold a PhD in Political Science and a Master's degree in Child Studies. This academic background gives me a unique lens through which I explore the themes of my writing — from identity and justice to the resilience of the human spirit. My studies have deepened my understanding of both societal systems and the emotional worlds of individuals, especially children, allowing me to write with both critical insight and heartfelt empathy.
My first book, Phoenix, was published in 2019 by AuthorHouse UK, and my latest book, A Journey to Belonging, was released in 2025 by Ketab-i-Arzan in Stockholm. In my writing, I explore themes such as identity, exile, inner strength, and belonging.
I believe many people hear about injustice and inhumanity in the world but they don't truly feel it. It remains distant, like background noise.
Through my writing, I aim to shift that feeling. I try to awaken people, to give them an emotional nudge to make them feel what they might otherwise ignore.
I believe in the power of words to cut through indifference and create a genuine human connection.
