Visual Human Rights Advocacy and National Identity of Turkmenistan

In 2024, while exploring the Pinterest platform, I came up with the idea of creating a page where my human rights work could be shared through visual content rather than traditional reports or texts. My goal was not only to speak about human rights, but also to show the world the richness of Turkmenistan’s national culture, everyday life, and national identity. During this process, I realized that there was a significant lack of visual materials suitable for human rights advocacy related to Turkmenistan, especially content that is modern, respectful, and deeply connected to the people. As a result, I decided to create this content myself and make it available on Pinterest. At the time, the platform contained almost no content related to Turkmenistan, its culture, or the real lives of its people. I did not expect my work to gain wide attention. However, the growing number of views, saves, and downloads demonstrated that this content is truly needed — both by citizens of Turkmenistan and by the international community. I am sharing the link to my content so that citizens of Turkmenistan can freely access, download, and use these materials for educational, human rights, and public initiatives. All of my work belongs to the people of Turkmenistan. With respect and love for my homeland and for all the people of Turkmenistan, Diana Dadasheva https://pin.it/4OgO7rzNH
