Hakim’s family left Afghanistan when she was just six months of age to flee the Soviet-Afghan War. Traveling by horseback to Pakistan, people smugglers helped the family to settle. After two years, the family moved from Pakistan to Australia when Hakim was only 3-years old.
She received a Journalism diploma from Macleay College in 2005 and studied for her Journalism degree via distance learning at Monash University. She worked for SBS World News in Australia at the start of her career.
In 2008, Hakim reported from Kabul and other areas of the world for Dateline. Her fluency in various languages, English, Persian/Dari, Hindi/Urdu, and Pashto served her well in her reporting. In 2011, she co-hosted Dateline with Mark Davis, a fellow journalist. In 2012, Hakim joined BBC, covering stories throughout Africa and the Middle East.
Reporting extensively about the rise and fall of the Islamic state in Iraq, famine in Sudan, and conflict in Yemen, Hakim’s international recognition for hard-hitting journalistic pieces continues to expand. An award-winning journalist, Hakim and her team received the Australia Media Award for Best Documentary for work documenting the Yemen conflict.
