Voices is a women's writing workshop, which seeks to create a space for women’s experiences to be heard. It is a platform which centres on women’s narratives, amidst a world which constantly silences their opinions and questions their choices. We find out more about this initiative from writer and poet Yasmin Bathamanathan, who started the programme.
