Que the Pomp and Circumstance, we’ve got a graduation to celebrate! We are so proud to announce that three of our School for Justice students just successfully completed their studies. Shila, Kamana and Trisha finished their high school studies, and will now continue with their Bachelor of Laws. We cannot overstate what an achievement this is for these three girls. It takes an incredible amount of strength to survive a situation of sexual exploitation (SEC), or to grow up in an environment where a risk of SEC is omnipresent. To not only survive but take matters into their own hands and become change agents that challenge their society’s status quo is the kind of bravery that inspires.
Just listen to what the young graduates have to say!
Shila: ‘My future plan is to be a voice for women who are exploited and oppressed. I want to bring justice to my society by giving legal support to women who were exploited in the sex trade.’
Kamana: “I plan to study law and use my position as lawyer to speak up against violence against women in society. I plan to seek justice for women who were sexually exploited.”
Trisha: “My future plan? To become a successful lawyer and develop relevant knowledge of the justice system to contribute to a safer world for women.”
