Olivia Hansen is a fourth-year International Development Studies major, Global Citizens Fellow, and co-founder of Love a Community, an NGO focused on sustainable community development in Kumi, Uganda. Since transferring to UCLA, she has been a member of the Global Development Lab and the Olive Tree Initiative as well as a research intern for the African Studies Center. Her URSP project inquires whether there is a gap in support for the male refugee population in Uganda, and if so, what short and long-term effects are perceivable. After spending this past summer in Uganda conducting field research in the Rhino Refugee Settlement, her hypothesis proved to be accurate: there is a large gap in supportive programming for the male refugee population alongside quantifiable, detrimental consequences stemming from the failure to engage men in women’s empowerment initiatives.
