Share a highlight of your work on WPS issues
During my recent visit to Dhaka I had the opportunity to meet the staff at the Canadian High Commission as well as the High Commissioner Dr. Lilly Nicholls with whom I shared early findings and recommendations from my doctoral research. My recommendations included ways in which the Canadian government can better support the needs of Rohingya women living in the refugee camps in Cox Bazaar and facilitate post-conflict reconstruction for the Rohingya people.
