It was a risky life though, as the war in Afghanistan endangered the lives of millions. This caused many citizens to emigrate or escape the country. Sofia moved out of the country with her family to a neighbouring country. She married and moved out to Dubai in the 1990s, and then she moved to Canada in 2012.
Sofia Yousafzai was interviewed for the Oral history project, in March 2015, by her son Bilal Ahmed.
