OxBright Essay Competition

6 October 2023

Congratulations to Year 12 student, Jenin, who has been shortlisted for the OxBright Essay Competition. She has been invited to an award ceremony on Saturday 28 October where the winner of the essay competition will be announced.

Westminster City School caught up with Jenin about the essay competition. She commented saying:

"My essay focused on the implications of war violence on human rights and how Humanitarian Law is the way to solve this. I am really passionate about this topic and saw this competition as the perfect opportunity for me to speak out and raise awareness.

"The reason for this is due to the fact that, in my opinion, there are limited resources on the internet regarding Humanities and even International Humanitarian Law and I feel that this is something which has been overlooked in the media.

"After completing my A Levels at Westminster City School's Sixth Form, my plan is to pursue my passion, study International Humanitarian Law at Cambridge University, to become an International Humanitarian Lawyer in the Middle East. I have chosen this particular area because I feel as though the culture of denialism is more prominent there than anywhere else in the world, when it comes to warfare."

Jenin is currently studying A Level Politics, History and English Literature at Westminster City School's Sixth Form.

Update as of Thursday 21 December 2023:
