I hope to contribute to both academic and policy debates relating to gender equality, forced displacement, citizenship policies, and refugees’ experiences of access to rights and services. My policy and community engagement activities involve regular participation, in collaboration with the refugee-led organizations, local non-governmental organizations, and international organizations, in policy dialogues on gender, humanitarian policy, and social services, alongside representatives of governments, academia, and civil society.
Recent outputs deriving from these activities include:
