More to Her Story was born from an urgent need to listen to young women and girls.

Imagine this. A young woman is growing up in Amman, Jordan. Her father won’t let her leave the house. Her two brothers can leave the house whenever they want. But this young woman - bright and brilliant  - is locked at home. Unbeknownst to her dad, she becomes the clandestine breadwinner, juggling two full-time jobs from her bedroom, out-earning every member of her family. Her earnings fund her brother’s university dreams, but she remains tethered, unable to chase her dreams or live a normal life.

This is a true story; it’s the story of many women, not just in Jordan. And it’s rarely told.

More to Her Story is committed to telling these stories. While sensational stories about women and girls often make headlines, their genuine, unfiltered voices and everyday realities remain overshadowed.

In an era marked by escalating global challenges and diminishing women’s rights, it is critical for young women to not only help shape mainstream discourse but also offer solutions for a better future.

We don’t just publish stories; our mission is to to catalyze tangible, positive change in the lives of women and girls, ensuring that their voices and ideas are not just heard, but are the driving force behind this change.

Join the mission & donate to keep girls’ stories at the forefront.
