For 10 years she pretended to be her deceased brother in order to be able to work and feed her family, thus avoiding the prohibitions of the Taliban regime. Years later, she recounted this experience in her novel “El Secret del meu turbant”. In 2006, thanks to the Association of Human Rights in Afghanistan (ASDHA), she arrived in Badalona where she currently lives. She is involved in different NGO’s and other cultural and social integration projects.
