Randa Abu Shouk: Personal Statement
Postgraduate studies in International Conflict
I am a30 years old sudanese lady am interested to make my master programm in International Conflict studies because I would like to help the people of my country, Sudan, especially the women and children of Darfur who have suffered so much in the last few years. I am particularly interest in the rights of woman. As a Muslim woman, born and raised in Sudan, I know firsthand the deprivation that women suffer in many Muslim countries. In some parts of Sudan, girls are not educated and even when they are, their education is limited to preparing them to serve as housewives and sometimes secretaries.
Many Muslim societies do not value and do not fully develop the potential of women. This is sad because as we can see in developed countries, women are as intelligent and hardworking as men and can make a huge contribution to development. The oppression of women is partly to blame for the underdevelopment of Sudan and several other predominantly Muslim countries. As a Human Rights advocate, I would like to help change this.
Also, my work both with the African Union Mission in Sudan and the United Nations has given me the opportunity to interact with people who work to advance the right of women, children, refugees, etc. I have seen firsthand the suffering that illiteracy, poverty and underdevelopment can bring to people. I believe that the problems of Darfur and Sudan are essentially problems related to underdevelopment. And the battle for development has to start with the fight against illiteracy, especially among African women.
My undergraduate education in the Arts and Humanities at the University of Khartoum gave me a very good academic background and preparation for further studies at a good university. I am fluent in English, have done most of my undergraduate education in English and also have worked with international organisations in English. Therefore, I am confident that I will do well academically and contribute to the diversity of the International Conflict master program , Even though I was born and raised in a fairly conservative Islamic society, I am quite comfortable studying, working and interacting with people of different backgrounds because I was fortunate that my father was a diplomat, so I spent some of my years abroad, and that has greatly helped me to be more open and enlightened than the average Sudanese girl.
Studying , will give me the opportunity to do an internship with one of the many human rights organisations. That will prepare me to return to my country and engage in human rights work. My career plans are to gain some work experience and ultimately, I hope to work for the United Nations Human Rights Commission.
Therefore, I would appreciate the opportunity to study for an International Conflict or peace studies .
Thank you for considering my application.
I’ve completed my doctoral degree and I want to continue my study for postdoc in feminist communication. Could you help me to find a scholarship for my postdoc in feminist communication? Especially at Australia or Singapore.
