The Human Aspect of Zarifa

The resistance against my work as a woman caused plenty of sacrifices like losing my father. Growing up I had always felt empowered and dedicated to lead the way for women behind me.

In my toughest moments feeling my responsibilities and sacrifices weighing down on me I felt alone and frustrated.
