She completed her Masters in Development Studies at the International Institute for Social Studies, specialising in Human Rights, Development and Social Justice based at the Hague. She is interested largely in the intersection between law, development and the sociopolitical economy, and would like to see the dismantling of structures of power that prevent all people from living a life based on dignity, equality and justice. Faraaz Mahomed is a Senior Researcher at the South African Human Rights Commission, and likes all the usual things: justice, peace, civility, freedom of thought and sarcasm
