| About JWW | ![]() |
University Fellows work with JWW staff to train on policy objectives aimed at changing the situation in nations experiencing genocide and mass atrocities. With significant support from JWW staff in their organizing efforts, fellows execute programming designed to educate and engage fellow students and community members with a call to action. Each fellow also works with other students to develop new ideas for on-campus actions. Fellows become the on-campus representative of JWW, our bridge to their college communities.

Zahra Baitie, born in London but raised in Ghana in a mixed Arab and Ghanaian household, is a pan-African-at-heart sophomore in Calhoun. She is currently undeclared, but, if all goes according to plan, Zahra will be a Global Affairs and African Studies double major. Heavily involved with the African community, Zahra is the Political Chair of the Yale African Students Association and President for the Yale Undergraduate Association for African Peace and Development.
She dedicates her time to organizing a conference on Africa scheduled for Spring of 2011. This exciting event will engage African diaspora students in 1) discussing the issues relating to their continent and 2) advocating for the Congo.
Zahra also writes and blogs for Afrika Now and the Globalist, as well as volunteers for the Yale Refugee Project. Her experiences with victims of war and child soldiers and her study of various genocides and conflict spurred a passion for advocacy and genocide and ethnic conflict prevention. In 2010, Zahra won the Zonta International’s Young Woman in Public Affairs award.
Zahra has a love for languages and has spent the last two years earnestly studying Chinese. When not studying or working, she cooks, watches Disney movies and hangs with friends.
