Шаблон:Short description Hamid Zaher (born 1974) is a Canada-based Afghan writer and gay rights activist.[1]

Zaher was born 1974 in the Parwan Province. He studied pharmacy at Kabul University and graduated in 1998. In 2001, he had to flee Afghanistan when his family started pressuring him to get married, due to Afghanistan punishing homosexuality via the death penalty. He arrived in Canada in March 2008.[1][2]

In 2009, Zaher published a book about his life and upbringing in Afghanistan called Overcoming: Alone Against the World. In response, Zaher's family disowned him.[1][3]
