Hafsa joined MLRI as a Language Access Fellow in September 2026 after completing her Masters in Theology at Harvard Divinity School. Her research there was focused on the categorization of sexual violence in classical Islamic law and how it continued to shape policies and laws concerning sexual violence today. She brings an interdisciplinary lens to her work in the law reform sector through her background in research methods, public policy, and data analysis. Hafsa is results-driven and is passionate about social impact, strategy, and access to justice.
