It is about women, and for the women still suffering daily from the oppression and social strains that prevent them from becoming who and how they want to be. KHOTOUM literally means “Seals” in Arabic, stands for women’s causes and their rights. It reveals and lights up those issues that are considered as Taboos in back-warded, religious, & conservative society. Those issues have been locked behind seals for long time, hence, forgotten. Issues like Child Marriage, Sexual Objectification of Women, Deprivation of Self-expression, and Societal Hypocrisy. KHOTOUM unlocks those seals in a fearless attempt to expose and discuss these taboos hoping to spread more awareness about women’s right to live and exist in a non-sexist and non-judgmental society.
