She serves as the UN representative of the Balochistan Human Rights Group (BHRG), a non-governmental human rights documentation organisation registered in Sweden. Bandoui actively participates in UN events in Geneva and New York, including UN Committee meetings and the UN Human Rights Council, and is a leading voice in the community calling attention to the impact of systemic oppression by the Iranian government on minority groups, particularly the Balochis.
