‘Hediyeh was born on 1991. When she was a slaver of the ISIS forces, she had sewn the names of her sister, brother, husband, and son on a piece of cloth, a date has been also sewn on it. All of the names are in a heart dripping blood, with colourful cloths. She sewed and kept it confidentially and the ISIS forces were unaware of that. After fall of ISIS and escaping from them, she kept it with herself in the Yazidi camp. It is the only property of hers remaining from those hard days.’

Shaghayegh Moradiannejad is a social documentary photographer who is fond of narrating women’s stories. The story of women who carry the heavy and severe burden of war on their shoulders.

She attempts to record the long-term effects of war on women and children. This effort was started in Iran and Afghanistan and she intends to continue it in other areas of the world. She would like to announce their suppressed sorrow through her photos.
