Lais is a graduate in International Relations from Jorge Amado University Center, Brazil, and holds a master’s degree in Global Affairs from Bahcesehir University, Turkey. Her interest in the field of migration arose during her years in Istanbul, where she witnessed the Syrian refugee crisis, the first major crisis of the 21st century. Motivated by a desire to contribute to the Women’s Global Consultation Program, Lais is excited to collaborate with like-minded individuals within the Alliance to make a positive impact on the lives of migrants, particularly women, and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society.
