Shona Flaherty comes from Ireland, and is a recent B.A. graduate of Politics and International Relations from University College Dublin, with a particular interest in Humanitarian Action, International Justice, Development, and the role of supra-national institutions in these areas. She has worked to raise awareness of global issues with the Irish NGO ‘Suas’, and has been involved in many fundraising and advocacy campaigns for recent natural disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan and the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami Appeal while in University. Widely travelled, and with a keen interest in learning about different people and cultures, she hopes her experiences in Cameroon will prove beneficial both to the detainees and to her own personal learning, so she may better assist the cause of Prisoners Rights, and further, Human Rights in general.
