MA HUMAN RIGHTS LAW, SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

For my undergraduate, I studied History at the University of Cambridge while dabbling in human rights law. Now, I am excited to continue this by completing a Masters.

My professional and activist work has shown me the extent to which human rights are violated and steeped in historical injustice, especially for ethnic minorities. I have worked with my local authority with the child protection/court team as well as undertaken a pro-bono project with a human rights charity, Amicus.  This furthered my ambitions to provide legal remedies for people, helping them gain basic human rights such as housing and enabling them to enjoy fair representation.

I look forward to having more nuanced conversations about refugee law, Islamic law, and women's rights so I can provide support to those most vulnerable in society.
