In this issue

In this beautiful issue, we are thrilled to dedicate all articles to the significant important subject of women's rights in all aspects. Professional award-winning photographers from all around the globe featuring their point of view on women's everyday struggles, femininity, women's rights, and women's empowerment. From women's rights in Syria and Afghanistan to the Kalash women and the women's athletic strength at the Paralympic Games in Beijing 2022. From the emotional aspects of traumas and racism to immigrant mothers refusing to leave their children behind. This issue intends to give an in-depth view of all these critical subjects.
This month's issue was created with the hope of bringing awareness, which hopefully will lead to a change.
Enjoy!
