Nikita Morrison-Young has recently completed her LLB Honours Degree with the University of the Free State, South Africa. Currently, she is enrolled in a Practical Legal Training Course and thereafter will begin her journey as a Candidate Attorney whilst pursuing her Masters to specialize in either Conveyancing or Environmental Law.

Nikita is a social and humanitarian activist. A person with a thriving passion for humanitarian law and combating modern day slavery and crimes such as human trafficking, sexual offences and abuse against women, children and men. In the past few years she has realized that her passion for human rights advocacy is her natural calling. Nikita aims to advocate for the rights of those that are marginalized and vulnerable in our communities.

Since her involvement with the UCEC organization and after being exposed to the atrocities that UCEC fights against, she has been passionate about improving human rights for the most vulnerable people. Violence and abuse towards women, poverty, police brutality, lack of education and an overall absence of human rights are abundant all over the world, especially in North Korea as it still remains as one of the most repressive countries in the world. This is what drew Nikita to HRNK. She stated, "I knew that I had to pursue the opportunity to be a part of an organisation that dedicates itself to combating gender based violence and mass human rights violations through research, investigation and education." 

Her goal is to use public law, human rights and social development as a way of spreading awareness through development and education. Our hopes for a more just, safe, and peaceful world can only be achieved when there is universal respect for the inherent dignity and equal rights of all members of the human family.
