    "We embrace the start of fertility - “Congratulations, you are a woman now!” is the cringeworthy phrase most of us hear when we start menstruating – and we stigmatize the end of it." We need more conversations & stories to drive change. ✊

    The last line in this tv piece by is brutal. It hurts, but it needs to be said. "Perhaps all that is left to save are the shreds of innocence of a scarred generation." Thankful for your work as always Arwa.

    An airstrike landed on the library Aya was studying in in . She was badly burnt, so much so that she could barely use her hands to pick things up. Multiple surgeries later & Aya told us that she feels stronger than ever.
