Maelanny Purwaningrum and Backward Society Education
Maelanny grew up in suburban area of Jakarta, Indonesia. She finished her Bachelors Degree in International Relations at Padjadjaran University, Indonesia. During her undergraduate degree, she was actively involved in student organizations and did some volunteer work. The following year, she received a scholarship from the Norwegian Center for Human Rights to continue her studies. Now, Maelanny is pursuing a Masters Degree on human rights at the faculty of law, University of Oslo. Prior to this degree, she worked for an Indonesian NGO that focused on economic and social rights and children’s right to education. Her academic interests include childrens’ rights, economic and social rights, human rights and Islam, and international development.
For the fellowship, she’ll be working with Backward Society Education (BASE) in combating child labor, particularly in the Tharu community, one of the indigenous people in Nepal. She plans to write her thesis on child labor issues, in which case this will serve as a great opportunity for her to experience the reality, and implement her knowledge.
