A volunteer from the organisation said that Tasmida is their potential woman representative in the country.
NEW DELHI: Tasmida, a 21-year-old Rohingya woman who has been living here since 2012, feels the women in her community “have potential but are victims of stereotypes”. She wishes to be an inspiration for them by becoming the first Rohingya woman in India to go to college. With help from Rohingya Human Rights Initiative (Rohingya), an organisation that is working for the welfare of the community in India, Tasmida has requested Jamia Millia Islamia University to facilitate her admission in a political science or law course, and grant her a scholarship.
