Contents
Background
Nikita Malik studied South Asia and the Middle East at Oxford University. In 2009, she was awarded an MsC in economics.
Career
In 2013, Malik wrote for OpenDemocracy about water.[2] Since then she has been increasingly featured on commercially-controlled media for some years. She has spoken on BBC, [[CNN], France 24 and SKy News and has written for a range of newspapers]], including [[]] and The Sun, in which she praised the choice of Sara Khan as Counter-Extremism Commissioner.[3]
Opinions
Malik has said more work was required to establish a definitive link between an individual’s history of domestic violence and subsequent involvement in terrorism, evidence existed to indicate a potential correlation. She has also argued that “In the UK, laws including the modern slavery and terrorism acts should be interpreted more broadly, in order to adequately reflect the spectrum of crimes committed by individuals using sexual violence as a tactic of terrorism.”[4]
