Audrey Roberts and the Afghan Women's Network's (AWN)
Audrey received her BA in cultural anthropology from the University of Colorado – Boulder in 2003. While working toward a MA in socio-cultural anthropology from Columbia University in 2006, she liaised between the UN and civil society in Haiti during an internship with the United Nations Association-Haiti.
After receiving her MA in sociocultural anthropology from Columbia University in 2006, Audrey worked with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Mission to Serbia's Democratization Department in Belgrade in fall 2006. Her scholastic and professional interest is how democracy is articulated in local forms in ethnically divided post-conflict societies, keeping the particularities of context in focus.
Audrey will be spending the summer as a Peace Fellow for The Advocacy Project (AP), but working with the Afghan Women's Network's (AWN) office in Kabul, Afghanistan. Founded in 1995, AWN is a network of Afghan women and over 90 NGOs working to empower women and ensure their equal participation in Afghan society and across the border in Pakistan. With AP's strategic guidance, I will not only be advocating on behalf of AWN, but advocating for an idea that I care about, women's rights, and diving into a personal and professional challenge, leading to personal and professional growth.
Donations to support Audrey's work are appreciated.
