Recent Accolades:
Ella was awarded her master’s degree in December 2022, achieving high merit in her dissertation analysing the intersection of sexism and racism within sex work. She explored the labour rights within sex work, and her ideas have sparked progressive conversation. Comments on her paper described it as an "original topic, which [she] addressed unafraid of both theoretically complex and politically bold implications”.
​
TMP deals with high-profile cases up to the Supreme Court. As a specific aim to provide access to justice to clients who cannot afford to pay legal fees, we provide free help strategising how clients can crowdfund the costs.
Access to justice is fundamental in ensuring a fair society, which Ella has developed a genuine appreciation for. With aspirations rooted in human rights, Ella helps transfer the conversation towards the most critical issues.
