Laura is Namati’s Citizenship Program Director. The program works with communities who have citizenship in law, but in practice continue to face discrimination in attempts to access proof of nationality or related rights and services. Paralegals from these communities empower others to overcome discriminatory treatment to access legal identity documents and drive changes to the national legal framework on citizenship rights. The Citizenship Program is implemented with partners in Kenya and Bangladesh and provides technical support to organizations in Myanmar and Jordan.

Laura previously established and managed Namati’s Myanmar Program, which is primarily focused on land rights.
