Breaker Manizha, a 21-year-old athlete representing the Refugee Team at the Olympic Games, has overcome significant challenges to pursue her dream of becoming an Olympian. Originally from Afghanistan, Manizha was forced to flee her country due to the Taliban's rise to power in 2021. She now resides in Spain and is determined to use her platform to advocate for the rights of Afghan women.
Manizha made a powerful statement during her debut at the Games by wearing a jacket emblazoned with the words 'Free Afghan Women.' Her decision to represent the Refugee Team is a testament to her resilience and commitment to making a difference.
