fighters. In Iran, she couldn't get a formal education because of not having proper identification. She
had to clean bathrooms and learnt the basics of how to read and write herself.

songs are about her girl friends with broken spirits after arguing and begging their parents not to sell
them. Her songs have empowered her friends to protest against forced marriages which account for
60-80 per cent of Afghan marriages.
Things were all right until they weren't. Sonita's mother asked her to come back to Afghanistan as
she needed 7,000 dowry to prepare for Sonita's brother's wedding. Her mother thought she could sell
