" I am enthusiastic about becoming a Millennium Fellow as it provides a distinctive platform to highlight and address gender-based violence, particularly against boys, who are often neglected in these critical conversations. My work is focused on educating individuals about their inherent rights and emphasizing the importance of valuing and respecting reproductive rights. This Fellowship represents an exceptional opportunity to drive meaningful change, and I am genuinely excited to contribute to this important cause with renewed energy and commitment. "
