“I have always had a huge passion for advocating for human rights, especially women’s rights. I have had some experience dealing with these issues and helping those [in need], but I’ve never fully understood the impact of not having these rights. When I heard about this project with Professor Mark I was instantly intrigued and thought it was a good way to have a better understanding of women’s rights all over the world.” –Dayanara Monzon
