Le Sen is a specialist in gender and minorities and has led WPM projects focusing on intersectionality and identity. Coming from a minority Cham Muslim community herself, she has been deeply inspired working with ethnic, religious, and cultural minority girls and young women across the country. She is the lead author of Making the Space: Voices from the girls of Cambodian minority communities, a ground-breaking book that shares three years of the first-of-its-kind research conducted on the lived experiences, perspectives, challenges, issues, inner hopes, and dreams for the future of girls from four minority groups in Cambodia – Indigenous, ethnic Vietnamese, Cambodian Muslim, and Khmer Krom. Le is a former Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) exchange program participant in the scope of civic engagement at University of Nebraska at Omaha and previously held the post of Public Affairs Assistant in the Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh. Involved in community service since high school, she has organised numerous trainings to build the capacity of young people in Cambodia and is passionate about raising the voices of those most often left behind in society. Le holds an undergraduate degree in International Relations from the Royal University of Law and Economics and is pursuing a graduate degree in Peace and Conflict at Uppsala University through the prestigious Rotary Peace Fellowship.
