Motherhood crossing borders' is a journey of two women who were standing on a threshold a year back. Prisca from Zambia returned to college after a gap of more than 15 years. But she had a lot at stake; her family, her husband, the society, and her two young children who didn't really understand why their mother wanted to leave them and travel thousands of miles to a different continent. Not very far in Uganda was Sylvia who was passionately working on her big dream. Standing at the hospital reception with her three-day old daughter, she had to decide whether to go ahead with her dream of coming to the UK or stay back with her new-born. So, will Sylvia submit her application or will she have to wait for another 15 years, just like Prisca? In this episode, I will follow the journeys of Prisca and Sylvia, and discuss patriarchal social norms which mothers and women often have to navigate through and resist to achieve their dreams. This podcast is about taking difficult decisions, challenging gender stereotypes, and breaking patriarchal barriers.
