    Inspired by true events. In the war-torn heart of Herat, where girls are forbidden to dream and women are punished for knowledge, one mother dares to teach - in a hidden basement, beneath the noise of a regime that fears books more than bullets. Zara, a former schoolteacher, risks everything to create a secret classroom for girls robbed of their futures. Nasreen, the daughter of a powerful cleric, slips through the shadows each day to learn the one thing her father fears most: the truth. But in a world where betrayal can be fatal and a whisper can cost your life, how far can they go before everything falls apart? This is a story of forbidden learning, unshakable courage, and the quiet rebellion of women who teach, read, and rise - even underground.

    What I Found in the Labour Ward In the heart of a stormy night, I walked into a hospital ward that echoed with pain, hope, and fierce determination. This is not my story-but it is one I carry. As a silent observer, I watched women summon strength deeper than the ocean, faces soaked in sweat yet radiant with courage. I saw life wrestled into the world through cries, tears, and unwavering faith. I saw beauty in the breaking, and power in the pushing. This isn't just a tale of childbirth. It's a tribute to the women who rise-who roar-and who hold onto hope when it's all they have. For every woman still waiting for her day of deliverance: hold on. Your time will come.
