Josephine Mann, Papua New Guinea

Before I was awarded the scholarship to come and do the Master of Human Rights and Democratisation, I was working for the World Vision Development Pacific group as an advocacy officer, dealing with human rights issues such as child rights, rights of people living with HIV and AIDS and the gender based violence.

My interest have always been dealing with the rights of women and children and in regards to the issue of HIV and AIDS and therefore I plan to carry out my research and do more work relating to that issue. I intend to get much exposure and understanding of the human rights so I can make a difference back in my country.
