As a law student, she engaged with the Migration and Asylum Project and the Zenith Society for Socio-Legal Empowerment, advocating for the rights of refugees and migrant workers.

“Being part of the Centre for Justice, Law and Society (CJLS) is an opportunity to contribute to meaningful change through both research and advocacy. CJLS’ interdisciplinary approach, particularly in advancing sexual and gender minority rights and reproductive justice, makes it a dynamic space for impactful work. Working with CJLS, I aim to critically engage with the law, improving access to justice for marginalized communities.”
