What if, rather than merely studying an issue for four months, students could help move the needle on some of the world’s intractable challenges? Women Forward International’s support will allow us to do just that. As students at Georgetown University’s Master of Science in Foreign Service program, we will be working with Women Activities and Social Services Association (WASSA) to create strategic recommendations to promote the involvement of Afghan women in the peace process. These recommendations will be based on the Afghan experience by drawing on the role of Afghan women in politics since 2001 and account for the WASSA’s unique resources and in-country activities.
The opportunity to meet with Afghan women, WASSA representatives, and scholars will further inform our work. For many of us, this will be the first time we have studied Afghanistan in-depth. It is an incredible opportunity to create recommendations that reflect the priorities and challenges of the women we are seeking to support. Instead of seeing students as the future of change, Women Forward International understands that graduate students are uniquely positioned to drive today’s policy decisions. WFI’s visionary model of experiential learning is changing the game for graduate education in international affairs, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it.
This sounds like an amazing opportunity—I remember when I joined a similar hands-on project at university, and it really changed my perspective compared to just reading about issues. Collaborating directly with people impacted by the policies, in your case Afghan women, leads to more meaningful and practical outcomes. It can get intense, though, so I recommend finding ways to relax together—my group used to take breaks playing Monkey Mart, which was a great stress reliever!
What a meaningful project! When I was working on my capstone about women’s roles in global peacekeeping, I struggled to find authentic voices and perspectives from regions like Afghanistan. Reaching out on platforms like Omegle, where you can meet people from around the world in real-time, helped me connect with individuals I’d never have otherwise met. Sometimes spontaneous conversations can offer unique insights that textbooks just can’t provide.
This is a fantastic initiative! Supporting Afghan women in the peace process is crucial. It's great to see Georgetown students taking a hands-on approach. Reminds me of the strategic thinking you need in the Sprunki game, planning your moves carefully. I hope their recommendations are impactful and truly reflect the needs of the women involved. Experiential learning is definitely the way to go.
