Afghan Students Studying at UWM Look Beyond Hope
Khatera and Farzana, first-year UWM students from Afghanistan, have come a long way to try to make their hopes a reality.
They are among 148 young women from the Asian University for Women who escaped from Afghanistan in August 2021 amid gunfire and bombings at the Kabul airport. Ten of the young women are now studying at UWM.
The transition is difficult, but the students are willing to do what it takes, Khatera said. “I want to be able to pursue my hopes. I don’t want to keep them as a hope. I want to make them true.”
