Zarmina never admitted her daughter's role, and no one was looking to champion the cause of a woman in such a predicament

Zarmina never admitted her daughter's role, and no one was looking to champion the cause of a woman in such a predicament.
Residents showed Antonowicz the location of Zarmina's final resting place outside of Kabul. Her grave is as anonymous as her death, and her body has laid unclaimed by any relatives, because of the family's shame. Antonowicz said the real shame would be if people forgot Zarmina's death. Now as women in Afghanistan come out from behind the veil, those who suffered should be remembered, he said. But what is significant about this story is that people in Afghanistan are actually telling Zarmina's story. That they want the world to know what happened to her with a hope that it will never happen again
