Birds Without Wings: True Short Stories
By: Irshad Sisters - A&M
"Annie's stories give me hope that instead of accepting the things we cannot change, we must change the things we cannot accept. "
Rachna Khare Executive Director - Daya Inc., Houston Texas
A collection of short stories inspired by true events and in collaboration with Daya South Asia Women Shelter, Birds Without Wings offers an in-depth, at times brutal glimpse into domestic violence and the cultural stereotypes many South East Asian women face when entering into, staying in, and getting out of relationships.
Educate yourself. Only through awareness of the situation, and with the help of NGOs and shelters, can we overcome these stereotypes and make life better for victims of domestic violence.
