Silvia Mangini

Rocio and I worked together in London at Frontier. She is highly prepared and strongly committed to the humanitarian cause. Always ready to help with any necessary task she has been a great help to the department. Highly organized, punctual, and reliable but most of all she is always ready to find solutions building strong relationships within the team. She is definitely someone I would be pleased to work again with.

      • Sep 2020 - Feb 2022

      Co-founder of the blog Gals Get Political with a strong focus on human rights and social justice. We discuss issues hoarding international headlines but also matters that frequently go unnoticed but certainly deserve attention to understand the current global order - we create compelling stories to induce the urgent necessity of change-making in others and how to take action, sometimes including statements of civilians affected by those conflicts. Articles: - How #BoycottMulan became a global phenomenon: Chinese human rights violations in Xinjiang - What is happening in Hong Kong? - How do we understand racism without being educated on Black History? - A look back at Trump's first term - Understanding the troubling Electoral College system: its racist and discriminatory legacy - What is Period Poverty? - The hidden face of Fast-Fashion: social and environmental costs - Why is police violence against black women often left out of the headlines? - Understanding statelessness - What is the Milk Tea Alliance?
