The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Afghan journalist and filmmaker Najiba Noori documents her mother Hawa’s dedication to girls’ education. Hawa, a survivor of child marriage, reclaimed her narrative and helped others reclaim theirs by teaching literacy classes and traditional embroidery. Her story is intertwined with Zahra’s, the filmmaker’s young niece facing the Taliban’s return to power. This is a story of Afghan girls and women freeing each other.
