Danh ngôn của Sonita Alizadeh (Sứ mệnh: 9)

When I was being sold into marriage, it was hard to see a future for myself.
I am an activist and rapper from Afghanistan, and I use rap to speak out and help end child marriage.
My platform for activism is my music, and the issue I am working to address is child marriage. Everyone can find an issue that they care about and their own authentic way of expressing and sharing their message and working for change. When you speak authentically about something that matters to you, your voice has even more power.
My friends, they get married at 15 years old. I saw them with bruises on their faces. I realized this is the real face of child marriage.
There is a lot of suffering and injustice in the world, and there is also a great deal of hope. When you step forward and start speaking about what you see and what you want to change, you can begin living in that hope instead of despair.
