Cynthia Musah will be travelling to Uganda and Kenya to kickstart her international research project on women’s empowerment and health in low- and middle-income countries, in both rural and urban communities. This research project, part of the larger Women’s Rise program, prompts Cynthia to work towards developing a culturally sensitive understanding of, and thus advocacy of, women’s health-related needs in low- and middle-income countries. As a result, she'll travel to these countries to interview women about their work and health during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and inform policy recommendations. Through this research experience, Cynthia is given the unique opportunity to not only advance her skills and knowledge in her designated field, but also be subject to meaningful, culturally diverse perspectives from the people she will come across and work with.
