Muqadasa is Fighting for Peace and Women’s Rights in Afghanistan.
Sharp, outspoken and confident: twenty-four-year-old Muqadasa Ahmadzai wears a veil, but it cannot hide these qualities.
She was born in the early 90s to a traditional Afghan family in Jalalabad city, Afghanistan. As the ninth girl in a culture which often gives preference to boys, she had to fight for her position from her first breath. Her family adhered to the traditional belief that girls should remain at home after they reach the age of puberty.
Muqadasa was 12 years old, studying at grade 7, when she started to rebel. She used to sneak out and attend outdoor activities where the boys outnumbered the girls. This built up her confidence, and her ability to express herself before large groups of men and women.
