About This Lesson
Amina is a young woman constrained by Afghan society, confined by her gender and expected only to serve men. But this child bride is determined to make a better life for herself – to reject the limitations prescribed by society and to lead others to do the same. “Look into my eyes. Do you see it now? I am change.”
