Nigar Marf
Iraqi nurse
Nigar Marf is an Iraqi nurse and the chief nurse at the Burn and Reconstructive Surgery Hospital in Sulaymaniyah, a province in the Kurdish region.[1][2] Her work focusses mainly on pediatrics burns and intensive care in her 25 years of service at the hospital. She treats and counsels women burn victims resulting from self-immolation – an act of setting oneself on fire. It is a common act among girls as young as 16 years[3] old who had suffered physical and mental abuse at home before setting themselves on fire in protest.[4][1] In December 2022, she was honoured in the BBC's 100 Women.
