It’s both fitting and encouraging that in the year of #MeToo, three people working to combat the issue of sexual harassment and abuse have been awarded one of the top fellowships in the world. Laura Dunn, an attorney, founded a nonprofit to provide legal assistance to survivors and to advocate on their behalf. Working undercover as a journalist in the Middle East, Yasin Kakande has documented human rights violations against vulnerable populations, particularly women and young girls. And Jessica Ladd’s nonprofit Callisto develops technology to track and combat sexual assault on college campuses and in workplaces.
These are the 2018 TED fellows, finding inspiring solutions to global problems
