Showing results for "the women" in Middle Eastern

In the heart of rural Afghanistan, where tradition holds tightly to silence and obedience, a young girl named Bahar dares to dream of something more. Run is a deeply moving and beautifully written novel that follows the journey of Bahar, a girl born into a society where women are expected to remain quiet, hidden, and unquestioning. Raised by her loving mother and wise grandmother, Bahar is surrounded by strength but also by the weight of a culture that limits her voice. As she grows, Bahar’s thirst for education, freedom, and self-worth deepens.

If Arab women were given a voice, what story would they tell? To be a woman is a gift. But that gift does not come without challenges. Historically, women around the globe have fought to be heard.

As a CEO, Suzy has enjoyed great success as an Arab businessperson; as a woman, she has witnessed firsthand how Arab legislation and culture has not always kept pace with a world that continues to evolve.
