Rise Fellow 2021

Shellane’s Rise project focuses on women’s rights in her home country of Jamaica. She wants to reform laws and policy to help abused women, particularly in rural communities where abuse is most prevalent. She created a Women’s Protection Report that fosters discussions about her country’s laws for women’s protection, women’s shelters, and education on women’s rights. Shellane is involved in various clubs and activities, and has represented her country as a member of the Jamaican Math Olympiad team.
