Zidd: Voices of Resistance

By Mukkamaar (Ishita Sharma Foundation )

Everywhere around us, stories of girls in the context of violence sound the same. They are reduced to headlines that frame them only as victims. These narratives flatten lives and strip girls of agency.

Inspired by lived experiences of teenage girls, Zidd centres girls as protagonists of their own stories. The girls who refused silence, fought back and asserted their right to safety and dignity. From confronting harassment in public spaces, to challenging violence at home and schools, these stories document courage that is often overlooked and rarely acknowledged.

This book also presents stories that are the hardest to read. Stories of girls who fought with everything they had, yet were failed by families, communities, and institutions. They remind us that empowering girls cannot exist without strengthening the systems around them.

This is not a book about tragedy but about resistance, agency, and the everyday bravery of girls.
