Amid the war that swept through Lebanon—where the northern and southern fronts stood their ground, setting the land ablaze with fire and pain—the South remained unshaken in its defiance. And Southern women were no exception to this battle.
In the KaZeinab project, we recount inspiring stories of icons who stood tall in the face of death and destruction—women who embodied the spirit of Lady Zeinab (PBUH), a figure of unparalleled patience, resilience, courage, and sacrifice.
These women stood on the borders of their homeland, not merely as witnesses to war, but as active participants in resisting the aggression—with stories marked by pain and faces lit with hope.
Other stories pulse with strength of spirit and unwavering will. Here in the South, the full meaning of female heroism comes to life through the voices of women who fight in silence and triumph through faith.
The KaZeinab project reconsiders the image of Western feminism, which is often misunderstood or reduced to concepts far removed from our culture and values—concepts that, at times, do more harm than good by detaching women from their roots and diminishing the very values that are the source of their true strength and freedom.
These stories are not merely tales of a past era—they are living testimonies to the power of women in resistance, to their rooted identity, and to their will that defies all circumstances, proving that freedom and strength are not just slogans, but choices, actions, and lived convictions.
KaZeinab is more than a project—it is a window opened by these women to the world, a message that true strength begins within: with faith, resilience, and unwavering resolve.
It is a reminder that a powerful woman is not only one who rebels, but one who stands firm and remains loyal to her values and identity.
