I graduat
At HEUNI, I mainly worked with the projects related to such topics as gender-based violence, labour exploitation, access to justice, and the rule of law. I learned about victims’ experiences and their challenges in getting access to justice; how labour exploitation happens in a plain sight, and how hard it can be for the victims to receive work after leaving a company using labour exploitation. It helped me to realize how much we need to work towards a democratic and fair society that respects human rights. It made my time at HEUNI significant, necessary, and one of the most eye-opening experiences.
Now it is my time to return to Åbo Akademi University to graduate with a Master of Social Sciences. The knowledge I internalized, the skills I learned, and the tips from colleagues I received will help me in my studies and my next workplace.
Thank you everyone from HEUNI for being so supportive, open-minded, and particularly huge thanks to Director Dr Natalia Ollus and Communications Officer Aleksandra Anikina for having the trust to recruit me and take me on board.
