Hello,

My name is Franka Egbe a Cameroonian currently studying an Advanced master’s in governance and development at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. I am a seasonal humanitarian worker with an interest in children’s and women’s rights, community justice, and Land rights. I joined this network because I want to build up my skills as a paralegal to;

  • give an opportunity and protection to the poor and vulnerable people
  • protect poor people from injustice such as wrong eviction, exploitation, and extortion of lands. I also intend to undertake the 101 legal empowerment course to acquire more knowledge needed for a humanitarian worker and paralegal.

Thanks

Best Regards

Franka
