Shaerat’s creative school for writing (female writers)

Female authors in Iraq face significant challenges and obstacles that prevent them from fully participating in the literary landscape and public arena. With training in creative writing for female authors we aim to inspire and empower women to express themselves freely and authentically. By creating a safe space for women to share their stories and perspectives we create a culture of openness that promotes freedom of expression. The texts written by the  writers and translators participatingin the project will be published in an anthology in Arabic. By connecting female authors with each other and with allies within the literary community in Iraq and Sweden, we will create a supportive ecosystem that encourages mutual empowerment.
