Hinda Omar

MSC PUBLIC POLICY AND MANAGEMENT, SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

As a first-generation immigrant and proud Muslim, I am deeply committed to making a positive impact in society. My journey in the charity sector, particularly focusing on the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) and Mental Health sector, has fuelled my passion for driving change and empowering vulnerable communities.

Working closely with statutory and non-statutory agencies, such as the police, courts, and local authorities, has given me first-hand experience of the challenges faced by marginalised groups. Being part of the Muslim British community, I am excited to contribute my unique perspective to the scholarship program.

Studying public policy and management will provide me with the necessary tools to advocate for comprehensive policies that address societal issues on both local and national levels. I aim to harness my knowledge and experiences to foster inclusivity, justice, and social cohesion within our diverse society. By becoming a policy expert, I envision driving positive change and uplifting the lives of individuals and communities in need.
