After the heart breaking news of Zainab's demise, Daastan decided to launch it's fourth season of The Stories Untold competition in her honor. The entries of I Am Zainab aim to eradicate the stigma attached with the topic of child abuse, along with providing real life advice on how to prevent them from happening.
Outcast Magazine, an internationally acclaimed LGBTQ+ rights magazine, conducts an additional season of our competition The Stories Untold, titled as '4x', to raise awareness about the abuse faced by the shunned community and give them a voice.
Our team paving the way for the introduction of a little bit of magic in our lives, by introducing the third season of the Stories Untold story writing competition.
