My name is Fatima and I am an Arabic woman. I grew up in a traditional family where women were expected to be obedient and subservient to men. When I was young, I had dreams of becoming a lawyer or a doctor but my parents insisted that I should marry early and start a family instead. So I did what they wanted me to do and married a man who was chosen for me by my parents.
Despite the fact that I had no say in the matter, my husband turned out to be a good person. He was kind and supportive, and he allowed me to pursue my education while also taking care of our family. We have two beautiful children together, a boy and a girl.
As time passed, I realized that there were many things about our culture that I didn't agree with. Women were still treated as second-class citizens, and even though I was able to achieve some level of independence through my education, I knew that there were many women who weren't afforded the same opportunities.
So I started a non-profit organization to help empower women in our community. We offer educational programs, job training, and legal assistance to help women become self-sufficient and break free from the constraints of traditional gender roles. It has been a long journey, but it has been worth it to see the lives of so many women transformed for the better.
That's my story.
