I joined ALBA because :
Because I belong to underrepresented groups, family with low income, woman, LGBTQIA+ community, chronic illness and neurodivergent. Unfortunately, I have experienced social and work exclusion, which has limited my academic opportunities, for example, support from my tutors to be able to apply for international internship scholarships.
