Darya:
"Human rights, women's rights, and refugee work have been constant themes throughout my life.
As a woman who sings professionally, holds leadership roles, and co-founded and helps lead a refugee organization, I would have been imprisoned long ago in Iran.
Here in Germany, I’m free to pursue all of this, so I want to use my platform and voice for those who don’t have one."
