Sadia Khatri
Pakistani journalist and photographer, co-founder of Girls at Dhabas
Sadia Khatri (Urdu: سعدیہ کھتری) is a Pakistani writer, photographer and feminist based in Karachi. She has worked as a journalist at Dawn and The Kathmandu Post, and as a reportage editor with Papercuts Magazine. Khatri is also one of the founders of the feminist collective Girls at Dhabas.
Early life and education
Sadia Khatri graduated from Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts, USA. She began as an Astronomy and Physics major and later added Journalism and Media Studies.
Before coming to the United States, Khatri pursued photography as a hobby. Her interest in art and photography stems from her adventures in Karachi’s art and culture scene. She often attended concerts, literary lectures and community art shows with her sister, Fiza Khatri, who also attended Mount Holyoke College. Similar to the US blog "Humans of New York," Khatri blogged on the theme of "Humans of Pioneer Valley" during her college graduation period in the US.
In 2011, Khatri took photographs of children who spend most of their time living by the roadside in commercial areas of Karachi. These photographs were displayed in an exhibit in Karachi. Underneath each photograph, there was a quote from the corresponding street child to convey their perspective on life through their own words.

Why this record matters
“Sadia Khatri” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Sadia, Khatri and Pakistani provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q83688709. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
