Oxford student books for RAWA
Hello,
My name is Emma and I am a student at Oxford University and co-chair
of the Student Union Women's Campaign. Ever since learning about RAWA,
I was keen for us to do something in solidarity with these brave women
in their fight for a better future.
I saw on the 'Action' section of the RAWA website that they are in
need of 'films with progressive and anti-fundamentalist themes
(preferably with sub-titles in Persian or, if not available, in
English) and also books, reference books, encyclopaedias,
dictionaries, periodicals, etc.' for a resource centre for
anti-fundamentalist education'. This seemed like a wonderful endeavour
for our campaign to support: assisting the cause of female education,
sharing the resources of our inheritance to promote universal human
rights, and providing intellectual and moral sustenance for RAWA's
heroic efforts on behalf of the women of Afghanistan. Last term, as
students were coming to the end of their courses, I helped to organise
a collection of resources and we hope to raise money to send the
material to Pakistan.
I am, however, new to this sort of thing and should be extremely
grateful to receive feedback from anyone with experience, as to the
best way we can make it work...
Thank you so much.
Yours,
Emma xx
