Millennium Fellowship Project: Advancement of Rights of Marginalized Communities
Our university is based in a conflict zone that happens to be the world's most heavily militarized territory. With human rights violations being commonplace in Kashmir's theatre of war, civil rights are trampled upon frequently. This leaves the most disenfranchised groups in the valley particularly vulnerable to harm and injustice, at the hands of both the state and their fellow citizens. My project seeks to remedy that on a micro level by education and empowerment.
About the Millennium Fellow
Syed Umi Fatima is a fourth year law student at University of Kashmir. Growing up in a conflict zone and stereotypical society, she has seen the rights of people being infringed and trampled upon especially the rights of the marganilzed groups and LQBTQ+ groups. Since a very young age, she has been passionate about standing up for the rights of these people and empower them. In future she hopes to work with various organisations and NGOs to advocate the rights of the people belonging to these marginalised groups.
