Gillian Flude is the Project Officer at Mines Action Canada. She graduated from the University of Ottawa with a bilingual degree in Conflict Studies and Human Rights. In her view, humanitarian disarmament is a direct link between conflict and human rights. While in school, she became involved with Mines Action Canada through one of our virtual internships with campaign partners in South Sudan.

After a successful internship, Gillian was hired by MAC as the Project Officer for the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots where she worked on a short-term contract for four months. Once this contract ended, Gillian transitioned to being Mines Action Canada's Project Officer which has been her position since May 2022. Gillian has frequently participated in meetings with Canadian parliamentarians and in international diplomatic conferences. She has four years of experience supporting youth engagement in multilateral and national decision-making on sensitive topics. 

Gillian is passionate about involving and supporting more youth in disarmament, something that makes her proud to be part of an organization like Mines Action Canada who uplifts youth domestically and internationally.
