Kawser started with the Afghan Women’s National Soccer Team when she was in second grade because there was a window of opportunity for women–or really in her case, young girls. That window, along with employment and rights for women has closed. She’s in the US now working to start a soccer academy for refugee women and improve the rights in her home country so that both she and her daughter can return safely and be fulfilled. She currently works as a NorCal Refugee organizer with CHIRLA, Human Immigrants Rights Los Angeles, runs her Non-Profit WSPL, and Roots of Peace as Valuntree gender program manager.
