“Inside every woman is strength, creativity, inquisitiveness and powerful voice.  Woman is nature and life . Through her patience and strong will  woman is able to  challenge and achieve the impossible”  Dr. Nour Ghadban, who  holds a phD in computer and controlling engineering and a social activist said in an interview conducted by the Syriatimes e-newspaper.

Dr. Ghadban has recently got the Arab women certificate of Arab woman’s  policy, in building homelands conference held by International Academy of Studies and Humanities in cooperation with International Entrepreneurship  and Women ( IEAW) .

Dr. Ghadban  said  “I think women and girls face so many challenges. The challenges are absolutely enormous in every aspect of their lives, globally. Whether it be to do with education, or healthcare, the right to have logistical protection over violence, rape, abuse - the list is endless”. 

She underlined that the biggest challenge for women in the 21st century revolves around the issue of choice – the freedom for women to choose who they become, stressing  “we must support women to unleash their power to propel them to achieve that goal.”

Dr. Ghadban  stressed that these challenges and obstacles  can limit women’s  development and prevent them from reaching their full potentials

She pointed out  that mentally strong women do things differently because they live by a different set of core beliefs that guide their decisions and daily habits.

“Eve Museum” is the title of a series of stories by the writer “Mayada Kaddah” that sheds light on the homeland, pain, love, hope and you name it.

The writer relied on an unusual narrative method where the soul speaks out about its concerns and feelings. She left a space for the reader’s imagination to predicate the ending with curiosity to know the fate of the protagonists of these stories to express the emotions of the human soul.

Shorouq is the main character in one of her stories entitled “Souls” embodying  the suffering and the pain of the absence of our beloved people. However, in her other story entitled “Two Pearls”, Kaddah showed the contradiction between pain and hope.

The writer excelled in exploring the depths of humanity depending on ambiguous philosophical way that the reader may not understand easily. Moreover, Kaddah has managed to document and describe the moment of the end and farewell in her story “The Moment”.

She also dealt with the meaning of life, birds, dreams and lovers in her story entitled “The End”.

It is worth noting that the protagonists of her stories reflect the real life in our community.
