This project is called Sughar where “30 women will come for six months to learn about value addition of traditional embroidery, enterprise development, life skills and basic education, and about their rights how to say no to those customs and how to stand as leaders for themselves and the society.” Brohi project was created to empower the women to stand up for themselves and not have to rely on men.

Mansa Musa set off on his hajj and traveled thousands of miles through deserts, and strange cities to get to Mecca. Although this was a very religious journey, was this pilgrimage really all for religious purposes? Religion may have been a large motivating factor for this trip, but Mansa Musa did not journey on his hajj just for religious purposes.

Must our fate always be physical?"
The human condition is full of paradoxes and double meanings. We can commit the most shocking and terrible acts, but we can complete the most virtuous and honorable feats. Ishmael Beah describes the appalling and violent behavior he and other children exhibited toward the human life during his time in the Sierra Leonean civil war in his memoir, A Long Way Gone. Beah also details the forgiveness and kindness of complete strangers that helped him become the man that fate meant him to be. Homo sapiens are complex creatures brimming with irony and surprises.

In an excerpt from her memoir, “I am Malala” she demonstrates this, she explains how her, and her best friend came about each other.
“I believe children have the resilience to outlive their sufferings, if given a chance.” - Ishmael Beah After having gone through the most trying and obstacle-filled period of their lives, Ishmael Beah and Mariatu Kamara were given that chance. Kamara and Beah, although both having lived through the same war, had vastly different experiences from each other. Ishmael Beah was a child soldier for the government, a force to be reckoned with unless you were on his side, whereas Mariatu Kamara was a victim of a Rebel attack, a lone girl trying to survive after having her hands cut off and barely escaping certain death .

There are few people that carry these traits, so when one openly displays them, it allows others to view just how much courage they do have.

Putting others before oneself can be a difficult sacrifice, but it builds strength of character. Mariam and Laila demonstrate such selflessness, as well as courage, and caring.
In the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, the author Khaled Hosseini emphasizes the importance of education in woman. With the importance of education in women comes the endurance of woman.

Among others, war is labeled many things, such as: cruel, wasteful, vicious and brutal but to Sahar Khalifeh in Wild Thorns war is absurd. The following text is a book about war between the Palestinian and Israeli communities, as well as a war within the Palestinian community.

The internal controversy of Wild Thorns boils down to a singular question: how can the Palestinian people survive under occupation?
Some countries are open and actively working to promote well-being through charity and acts to achieve justice. In opposition some countries are not willing to take on the responsibilities of letting displaced people into their borders. After seeing the lifestyle displaced people face each day the film encouraged me to do what I can to spread awareness about the unsteady world refugees face. I know that I would have a difficult time living like a displaced person and I cannot begin to image the fear, sadness, and struggles each day brings. Although, as an individual I do not feel I can achieve much impact, I do believe that sharing the messages presented in the film will bring greater understanding to others and from there a stronger force can be achieved.

She explained with using several examples that women and girls not the problems in the societies, and they become solutions. I am trying to summarize two examples from her lecture.
