Kazmel Hamweemba
Kazmel holds an MSc in Africa and International Development from the University of Edinburgh where he was awarded the overall best performance prize. For about three years before his MSc studies, he worked in the not-for-profit sector where he mainly led the development and implementation of programmes aimed at promoting the sexual and reproductive health and rights, education, and livelihoods of children and young people in underserved communities of Livingstone in southern Zambia.
He is currently pursuing a DPhil in International Development at the Oxford Department of International Development (ODID). His research broadly looks at constructions and practices of masculinity, masculine sexual attitudes and behaviours, and intrafamilial child sexual abuse in low-income settings with a particular focus on the slums of urban Lusaka.
