On migration & refugees in Malaysia. On being a human rights activist.

Katrina Jorene Maliamauv worked for the past seven years as a human rights activist in Malaysia. As a programme officer for Tenaganita, she works to uphold and defend the rights of migrants, refugees and other marginalised communities. She advocates for and intervenes on labour rights, arrest and detention, gender-based violence, and an intersectionality of issues and rights. She has a BSc in Psychology, and as a Chevening Scholarship recipient, she just completed a Master's degree in Applied Human Rights from the University of York. She is a feminist, a believer in the power of hope, radical love, and collective action to reimagine and create a more inclusive, just and equal world for all.
