My name is Leah Ramkelawan and I am an undergraduate student at Rice University majoring in Biosciences and minoring in Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. Some topics that I am interested in include women's rights and human rights in Asia and Africa.

Articles

I revised the article titled Child Labor in Nepal. This article needed revisions because it had a lot of uncited information and it does not mention the social aspects of child labor. I will be adding sections about the causes of child labor in Nepal, industries that they work in, and solutions to the problem.

I am very interested in issues related to Nepal because I traveled there with my family in 2016 and we were shocked by the amount of destruction that the 2015 earthquake caused. The earthquake caused more devastation for an already suffering country and I would like to spread awareness and information about some of their issues.

I plan to revise another article on child rights, possibly in South America or Africa.
