Abstract-This dissertation explores the multifaceted challenges and strategies faced by women activists in India and the Middle East in their quest for educational rights, with a focus on the significant contributions of Sultana al-Qubaisi, Fatima Sheikh, Raja Al-Khuzai, and Malala Yousafzai. The research addresses the socio-cultural and political barriers that impede women's access to education in these regions, utilizing qualitative data derived from interviews, case studies, and historical analysis. Key findings reveal that, despite diverse socio-political contexts, common themes emerge in the activists' approaches, including grassroots mobilization, advocacy for policy change, and the use of technology to amplify their voices. These activists not only challenge the existing norms surrounding gender and education but also underscore the importance of education as a critical determinant of health and well-being, highlighting how enhanced educational access can lead to improved health outcomes for women and their communities. The significance of this study lies in its potential to inform healthcare initiatives by illustrating the intersection between education and health, encouraging policymakers to prioritize educational reform as a means to achieve broader public health goals. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the necessity for ongoing support and recognition of women's contributions to educational reform within the global health discourse, suggesting that empowering women through education is essential for fostering sustainable development and social equity in both regions.

Abstract-Toni Morrison, a revolutionary figure in Afro-American literature, has played a significant role in creating an African-American narrative by focusing solely on the dreadful situations of her race in America's white-dominated society. This paper focuses on her critically acclaimed novel Beloved, which delves deeply into the tragic fate of slaves, particularly slave mothers, and the traumas that slavery brought to motherhood, describing it through the primary characters of Sethe, Paul D, Baby Suggs, and Beloved. Slavery has been traditionally widespread in Africa and still continues today in some countries. Many African-Americans still hold a good deal of resentment toward white people because of the torture of their ancestors, who were slaves, suf-fered, and were humiliated. This study gives an understanding of how crucial being a mother is, but it also offers a glimpse into the world where mothers go through immense agony, suffering, and sexual exploitation to protect their children from the same fate, even if it might not have been ethically acceptable.
