Secondly, it will enable me to meet and interact with like-minded people, interacting with whom will enable me to broaden my perspectives and foster personal and academic growth." " Millennium Fellowship Project: Beyond the Binary On campus and within my own friend circle, I have noticed people make casual stereotypical remarks and brush them off as a joke when they are confronted about it. Many even make homophobic- and queer-phobic remarks. This is but one of the reasons why transgender people may not feel like my campus is a safe space for them. Through this project, I want to assess the various reasons which lead to the underrepresentation of transgender students in schools and in my own campus as well, and bring such reasons to light in order to hopefully make my campus a safe space. I strongly believe that SDG 5 must look beyond the gender binary. Hence, I will base my project on spreading awareness, as one of the best ways to combat stigma is through education. I will conduct interviews with noted transgender people who are successful in their respective fields today, as well as with faculty members of schools in Bhubaneswar and of XIM University to hear their opinions on the matter. My assessment will be compiled in the form of a report, which I hope to use in the future to promote change in existing systems and make schools and universities a place where transgender students can study without having to face stigma and discrimination.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: Nubians for Tomorrow Nubians-Egyptians used to live near the Nile River and were farmers. However, in the 1960s, the Egyptian government displaced over 50,000 Nubians from their homes to build the Aswan Dam. Finding themselves jobless, many Nubian men moved to Cairo or abroad to find jobs, while their wives stayed to raise their children. The lack of a present father figure in Nubian childrens’ lives has caused many teenagers to use drugs. While this is a big problem in the community, it is not being addressed by the government since Nubians are a minority group. Through my project, I researched the types of drugs most commonly used in the community. Then, I created flyers and presentations that explained the health risks of utilizing those drugs. Next, through my connections, I contacted middle schools in one Nubian village to share my materials with their students. While my content didn't prevent people who are already utilizing drugs to stop utilizing them, it helped prevent young teenagers from using drugs in the first place.

This goal is centered around finding ways to ensure each individual citizen lives within a peaceful society, with access to justice, without living in fear of violence or harm. The project is entitled “Project Pace: Building a Safer Westchester”. Chloe will be working to educate the Pace community about the realities of sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking within our area. Chloe will be partnering with The Pace Women’s Justice Center, a local non-profit organization that provides legal services for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. Together, they will host a campus-wide virtual presentation educating students and staff about intimate partner violence while clearly defining sexual assault and the varied elements of domestic violence, as well as the resources and recourses available to the Pace community locally and the impact under Title IX. This presentation will be featured in the upcoming Pace University Social Justice Week. It will focus on the promotion of healthy relationships in tandem with the facts about intimate partner violence, and where students who may be victims of these aggressions can go to seek help for themselves or others. The material of this event will centralize around teaching students how to identify and spot the warning signs of unhealthy relationship patterns, in an effort to create a campus culture that values peaceful relationship institutions, and is aware of the justice institutions available for those who need help. Chloe will also be working with the Pace Women’s Justice Center to put together a “Resource Sheet” made available to all Pace students and staff that outlines a list of on-campus and off-campus resources for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence to turn to for help, safety, and legal intervention if necessary. Chloe will also be partnering with Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS) to conduct a non-contact and educational Winter Gear donation drive in order to serve local survivors of human trafficking who live within New York City, who do not have access to warm clothes for this upcoming winter season. GEMS is a non-profit organization in New York that is specifically designed to serve young women and girls who have become involved in domestic trafficking and sexual exploitation. Through this drive she will open the eyes of my campus community to the demographics highlighting where and who exactly is affected by New York City’s commercial sexual exploitation industry, and how they can help these victims through their recovery process. The team will be teaming up with this organization to inform the students and staff of Pace about the realities and logistics about human trafficking, and just how close it occurs to home, and what they can do to help combat this issue. The team will be placing winter gear donation boxes across the Pleasantville, Manhattan, and Pace Law School campuses with informative statistics written on them about GEMS and sexual exploitation. Through this event, not only will they be raising awareness about violence in the form of human trafficking in New York, but they will also be providing warm clothes to the girls and young women who have experienced this crime and are in need, in order to ensure them a safe and healthy winter season.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: Oral Health Candle Our projects is dedicated to changing lives of Rwandans who are not aware of their oral health. From childhood, our teeth are treated as disposable extensions of our body but their role in health is undisputable. They work with glands in mouth to help us chew and grind food that gives us energy. They also kill bacteria that can attack our gastrointestinal system. It is like the brave soldier at the frontline. However, many people are not aware that once the teeth have problems, it indicates there may be more problems. We will conduct teaching sessions across 4 locations that receives the highest traffic in my district. We will teach that if he senses discomfort from mouth, please visit the doctor. Also, most of the problems in the mouth does not cause pain and so, they should regularly check their doctor. This may be basic information but most people did not have the privilege of knowing that the hospitals provide these services for a very low fee. We plan to measure our impact through the program sessions we will have. We have a goal of holding four sessions in public places from August to December. Successful implementation will mean we have been able to talk to multiple dozens of people in a single location and able to deliver the message. Through our foreseeable partnership with professionals, it can help us leave with adequate quantitative and quantitative data about most prevalent issues in our community.

Let me explain the meaning behind the project name we arranged for such a wonderful opportunity. Since, our project dwells around the area of menstrual health, specifically focusing on the psychological aspect of menstruation restriction put by our Nepalese Society, the name "Cut" immediately clicked. "Cut" means all those cuts, and wounds our sisters, daughters, and mothers had to go through because of the restrictions they were put under. Meanwhile, "CUT implies it is high time now that we women along with the help of men should cut these chains of restrictions to introduce a breakthrough in the menstrual world. Therefore, the project "CUT empowers everyone to participate in helping the liberation of women from imposed menstrual restrictions.
