Salomé Mazure is currently at the Youth Initiative for Human Rights Kosovo for her final-year internship, as part of her Master’s degree at Sciences Po Aix, where she is enrolled in the Political Engineering, European Policy and Euro-Mediterranean Cooperation program. Her academic and professional interests focus on human rights, gender issues, and the cultural and social dynamics of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions.

Her academic path is marked by a strong international dimension. She spent a year on Erasmus exchange in England at Liverpool John Moores University, where she studied international relations and gender studies, followed by a semester at Istanbul in Galatasaray University, where she specialized in the geopolitical dynamics of the MENA and Balkan regions.

Salomé has developed a strong attachment to the Balkans, particularly Kosovo, where she completed a first internship in a law firm in Pristina, before returning for a new experience within a civil society NGO. She is currently conducting research on sexual violence in Kosovo, entitled “Memory, Impact and Post-Conflict Challenges of the Former Yugoslav War.”

She also carried out a university research project on feminist movements within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She is particularly interested in the role of contemporary art, especially feminist and queer scenes in the Middle East as a space for political expression and resistance.

Salomé is deeply committed to international cooperation, post-conflict memory, and migration issues, with a particular focus on social justice approached through the sociological analysis of power relations, collective memory, systemic inequalities, and anticolonial perspectives
