MARYAM

Maryam embodies all women who have been subjected to violence and are subjected to violence on a daily basis, without having the right to defend their body and soul because, in short, she is a woman in a society that treats a woman’s body as the property of males and a standard of honor for them as well.

This story is adapted from a monologue taken from the play:

“Maryam, A Woman of Bethlehem”
