Luna Willems has finished her Bachelor’s degree in law at Utrecht University and is currently completing the LLM Public International Law at Leiden University. She has a strong interest in women’s and reproductive rights. She has written one thesis on surrogacy and one on human genome editing, which shows her fascination for topics where bioethics and international law come together.

Currently, I study the LLM (Dutch) Constitutional and Administrative law besides my work as student-assistent. I also work in a restaurant in Veenendaal, where I was born and raised. My passion lies (mainly) in the field of nature and spatial planning. One of my favourite pastimes is, at the risk of sounding like a complete nerd, learning about new things, and it is for this reason that I enjoy every day I spend at University!
