Sonita Alizada is an Afghan rapper and activist who escaped child marriage in 2015, when her viral music video, 'Daughters for Sale', helped her secure a scholarship to study in the United States. Through her music and advocacy work, Sonita has campaigned for women's rights and against child marriage, partnering with organizations like the Malala Fund, Global Partnership for Education, and Girls Not Brides. She has received the U.S. Secretary of State's International Women of Courage Award and the MTV Europe Music Generation Change Award, and was included on the BBC's 100 Women list in 2015. Sonita, who learned English upon moving to the US, graduated from Bard College in 2023; she is currently pursuing a master's degree at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.
