Fatima Khalil Human Rights Scholarship

We remind that the fundraising drive for the scholarship fund in memory of our alumna Fatima Khalil is ongoing!

Fatima double majored in Human rights and Anthropology and graduated in 2019. She was a very active student and a fierce advocate for human and women's rights. Fatima used to say : "We need respect, we need the freedom that belongs to us!" Upon graduation, she returned to Afghanistan, where she worked with the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission. Tragically, she was murdered by a car bomb in Kabul on June 27, 2020, while on her way to work.
 
We ask that you join us by contributing to the Fatima Khalil Human Rights Scholarship Fund. We are delighted to remind that the Open Society Foundation will match dollar for dollar up to $100,000 raised by AUCA for the Fatima Khalil Scholarship. The campaign is aimed to collect funds for the scholarship which will support extraordinary motivated students majoring in human rights and committed furthering women’s rights who is also very actively engaged in his/her community to advance these causes. We believe that it is people like Fatima, who with their brilliant minds, can bring peaceful change into the lives of those who need it the most.

Please help us by spreading the word, contributing, finding donors, and remembering Fatima's short but wonderful life!
