Erica Isaac and Afghan Women's Network (AWN)
Erica Isaac is a first year graduate student at New York University’s Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service working towards her MPA in International Policy and Management.
After graduating summa cum laude from NYU in 1998, Erica went on to complete her MSc. in Gender and Economic Development from the London School of Economics and Political Science with a specialization in women and children’s welfare.
Post-LSE, Erica traveled and worked as a researcher on the media installations for the South African Jewish Museum in Cape Town and the feature length documentary Crossing the Bride.
She also worked as a program assistant at safe houses for Tibetan refugees in India and Nepal, at an underground domestic violence organization in Islamabad, Pakistan, and with a repatriation organization for child soldiers in Uganda. This past January, Erica worked in Post-Katrina New Orleans gutting houses.
She now volunteers as a guardian ad litem on behalf of New York’s abused and neglected children and with Amnesty International USA’s Research Division on issues including sexual assault in the Native American community, custodial sexual misconduct and housing equity for survivors of domestic violence.
A native New Yorker and passionate photographer, this is Erica’s first trip to Afghanistan and she is excited to take part in, and bear witness to, one of the most important women’s rights movements of her generation.
