Within my role at Women and Democracy in the Maldives, I lead the design and implementation of a youth empowerment project, which created a space for youth to speak with leaders in the fields in which they were most passionate, this included sexual health, mental health and overall wellbeing. The design phase involved consulting and collaborating with youth in the region to ensure a culturally appropriate program that met the needs that the youth identified as most important.

At the conclusion of the program, I evaluated its effectiveness and created a report which was submitted to the Ministry of Youth.On top of this, I helped create and facilitate training workshops for women to increase the political and economic participation in the Maldives.
