Zahra used to live in Afghanistan before she came to the U.S. She’d like to go back some day, but doesn’t know if that will be possible.
Even though teen writer Zahra W. says “people don’t believe in love” in Afghanistan, for her, life without love is “less sweet.”
When this 15-year-old Afghan refugee in Pakistan found out about the brutal murder of her countrywoman, she was shocked at the horror that lived in men. Her sadness turned into pride as she watched the the woman in the community stand up for injustice.
