1. Coverage of the Human Rights violations in the women's prison in Rufisque, focusing on what the Association of Female Lawyers in Senegal is doing to help. Taking a closer look at the what elements of the women's human rights struggle result in these women's incarcerations. The issues range from extra-marital relations, abortion, inheritance, divorce, etc.
2. To continue my senior thesis project work by further investigating the life story of Penda Mbaye, the first woman to prepare Ceebu Jen the national dish in its present form. My main questions are: What do people know about her life? Does her story live on? and how does her legacy continue to inspire women activists in St Louis and Senegal at large?
3. Shadowing a few womens NGOs and showcasing the intersection of their work amongst rural & lower income urban populations, particularly around HIV/Aids, disability, Literacy, and marriage rights. I want to look at how these organisations can either focus on one area of need, or pick a target population (perhaps according to region) to maximise thier impact and efficacy.
