Hi! My name is Amra and I am a student at Rice University. I am on the pre-law track, majoring in Political Science, working toward my Bachelor of Arts degree. I am interested in topics of justice/fairness.

I am excited to join the plethora of Wikimedia editors and writers to share information from the various resources I am privileged to have. I hope to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that make it a more reputable ecosystem for the people that rely on it for everyday information.

Proposed Topics

I intend to work on the article, Women in Mali. Here is a link to my sandbox User:Amraamir9/sandbox.

Women in Mali

I am interested in revising the article, Women in Mali because it involves bringing light to the lives of underrepresented women in Islamic-majority communities. I believe it is vital to convey information regarding such populations in spaces like Wikipedia when so many people rely on it for their everyday information. This article is my preferred choice.

Importance Ranking Modified

I modified the WikiProject Feminism importance ranking from mid-importance to high-importance in the article, Human trafficking in popular culture, as women and girls make up a large proportion of people who get trafficked.
