Sahira Sharif (also spelled Saira Sharif) is an Afghan politician who was elected to represent Khost Province in Afghanistan's Wolesi Jirga, the lower house of its National Legislature, in 2005.[1]
A report on Khost prepared at the Navy Postgraduate School stated that she "was possibly associated with Hezb-e Islami". A member of the Pashtun ethnic group, she attended University and may have had a Master's degree.
As a member of parliament, she sat on the Education Committee.[1] A former Hezb-e Islami leader, she presented herself in 2005 as an independent candidate, and was believed to support the Hamid Karzai administration.[2]
She is described as a women's rights activist.[3]
During the 2009 presidential election, she supported Ashraf Ghani.[4] In the 2010 Afghan Parliamentary Elections, she ran in Khost province as an independent.[5]
She is married to Sharif Zadran and has two sons and two daughters.
Sharif founded Mirman Baheer, a literary society that meets secretly across Afghanistan.[6]
