Khadija Uddin

Khadijah is an 18 year-old student living in London. They were introduced to global affairs during her time at secondary school, where she took part in Model United Nations. Always keen to take on a challenge, Khadija has worked on numerous projects for charities that work on issues involving vulnerable people, such as food and sanitation banks for her community. She recently raised close to £15,000 for women's health facilities, specifically maternal care - a cause she cares deeply about. Statistics prove that women of ethnic minority descent are far more likely to suffer antenatal neglect in the UK, and is only more prevalent in developing nations. This has shaped her decision to study Midwifery at university, and she hopes to be at the forefront of improving women's healthcare around the world and being an advocate for all women.

One action Khadijah would like everyone to take:

“Advocating for vulnerable people, especially women, is something we should all do. One way to do this is by actively learning about and researching different cultures.”
