Kabul: Razia Muradi, a 27-year-old female student from Afghanistan, has won a gold medal for her excellent performance in a master’s programme in a college in India, VOA reported.
She has dedicated this medal to all the Afghan women who were denied higher education.
She pursued her bachelor’s degree while working during the day and attending classes at night. Life was peaceful and normal, Muradi told VOA.
She arrived in India two years ago on a scholarship to pursue a master’s degree in public administration. She was one of the tens of thousands of Afghans who have attended Indian colleges over the past twenty years since 2001.
She told VOA, “I dedicate this achievement to all the women who do not have the opportunity that I have to study.” “And at some point in time, girls like me want to return this chance in some way to them.
In her message for the Afghan authorities, she said, “I think the Taliban need to rethink about depriving women of education. If they want to rule, they cannot ignore the women. Women will protest, and at some point, they will stand and ask for their rights. Otherwise, half the country’s population will be useless.”
