LLM SQE 1&2, UNIVERSITY OF LAW

Studying Anthropology and Law at the London School of Economics allowed me to see how both disciplines intersect, exploring issues surrounding race, culture, human rights, and discrimination.

I came to university with the purpose of instigating and facilitating social change, which in turn prompted me to complete a human rights internship in Tanzania, and has informed my decision to qualify as a lawyer.

As only 5% of lawyers quoted by the SRA are Muslim, there is an evident disparity in visibility, which I reason is due to systemic and wider societal issues. The overarching goal of the Aziz Foundation resonated with me and I believe that to tackle such issues within society requires a collective effort; but for this to happen the younger generation needs to feel enough esteem to start a conversation – which I hope to contribute towards in forthcoming years!
