She was the Women's Rights Coordinator with the Afghan NGO Action Aid, where she conducted research on the situation of rural Afghan women and educated them about their rights, as well as organized trainings on decision-making, despite being personally threatened for her work.

Born in Afghanistan, Siddiqui left for Pakistan when she was eight years old because of war, but returned to Afghanistan in 2003 to work for women's rights. In 2007 she received an International Women of Courage Award. However, being well known she was unable to safely return to Afghanistan after that, and so she obtained asylum in the United States.
