My Summer in Freetown 

Esther Hallsdóttir

Thanks to the generous support of the Women and Public Policy Program at the Harvard Kennedy School, I will be working for Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, the Mayor of Freetown, in the summer of 2022 to evaluate and enhance the city's gender policies and programming. I am a Master in Public Policy student at the Harvard Kennedy School, focusing on gender and child protection. At HKS, I work as a Research Assistant to Professor Dara Kay Cohen and the Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict Data Project. Previously, I was a Campaign Manager for UNICEF Iceland and served as Iceland's Youth Delegate for Human Rights to the United Nations.
