I wanted to make an animation to raise awareness of organisations that assist people who have survived human trafficking, slavery, or abuse. Having grown up in Afghanistan, I realise it’s often not possible for people to tell their own stories publicly, due to the stigma that unfortunately exists even for survivors. I approached an NGO that helps survivors of such abuse, in Afghanistan, and they were keen for me to animate a story.

This story of “Maryam” hopefully demonstrates the amazing work done by many NGO's and the phenomenal resilience of women and children who have suffered enormously.

I created this in 30 days, part-time, to enter it into the NZ 2020 Bright Awards. The results are yet to be released.

UPDATE: I was fortunate to win the Animation Category of the 2020 NZ Bright Awards. I was awarded NZ$3000 for my school (I hope this can be directed towards the Animation Club that I co-founded) and NZ$1000 for myself. Thanks to all that supported me, your encouragements and critique were invaluable.
