A Pakistani blind student has created history by winning the Pakistan’s Rhodes scholar-elect for 2021. Currently studying at Georgetown University’s campus in Qatar (GU-Q), Khansa Maria will head to Oxford University next fall to pursue a master’s degree in evidence-based policy intervention and social evaluation. Visually impaired, Khansa had to face many struggles while studying in Pakistan hence, she is determined to do something for the physically challenged.
Khansa Maria, who considers the challenges faced by physically impaired people as very personal, is deeply passionate about advocating for their rights and designing accessible communities in an effort to ensure inclusivity. She feels that she has a certain responsibility toward her community to improve things to the extent that she can, or at least lend her skills or her experience in a way that benefits people like her in Pakistan.
