In 2020, she was awarded the Rubicon grant by the Dutch Research Council (NOW) to undertake a two-year research project on sexual and reproductive rights. In 2019, she received a prize from the Dutch Network Women Professors (LNVH) under the Distinguished Women Scientists Fund. She has also obtained a British Academy Visiting Fellowship to the London School of Economics and an INSPIRE Grant from the European Union to develop part of her doctoral project at the Socio-Economic Right Project at the Dullah Omar Institute at the University of Western Cape in South Africa.
