Survived to Inspire - Asma Paigeer
My story
I am an advocate for education and social change in Afghanistan.
I was raised without gender discrimination and witnessed how my own mother was denied the right to graduate from university by the Taliban regime.
I value the second chance I have been given, as I am currently living in the United States and pursuing my education in computer science and artificial intelligence.
​
There is always a bright day after every dark night, and there will be a period of development which flourishes when the Taliban reign ends in Afghanistan.
​
Sharing my story can evoke the consciousness of
a generation which demands justice.
Support my education
I have always wanted to study computer science, but as a Hazara woman,
I was not accepted into Kabul University, even though I had an A+ grade average.
I was introduced to artificial intelligence (AI) during a seminar in 2019 and have been fascinated ever since.
I would like to have access to computer science and AI education to
create a new digital financial system in Afghanistan.
