Tuition for Salma Echaly
Donation protected
"It's so, so hard to go from freedom to not being able to go to the grocery store alone. I've already been sexually accosted, which is the norm here and I fear for my life everytime I go outside."
These are the words of Salma Echahly, a 2015 Barnard College graduate who was forced to return to her home country of Morocco. Imagine the contrast from when she was a happy honor student and an independent young woman in the workforce.
Today in Morocco, Salma is not permitted to walk anywhere alone - for the mere fact that she is a woman. Nor can she get a driver's license to try to get a job because she is prohibited from driving alone. Salma desperately wants to come back to the US to go to graduate school to study Human Rights Advocacy so she can better help others in her situation BUT she needs to raise the funds. This is why her American friends are starting this GoFundMe campaign.
Salma has been accepted to NYU's graduate program for the Spring 2017 term. Unfortunately, she not allowed federal funding or scholarships as an international student. And, she must show ability to cover her tuition in order to get her visa. Let's all help to make a difference in the life of this young woman.
She could be you if you weren't lucky enought to be born in the US.
