A year back, two women were standing on a threshold. Prisca from Zambia wanted to return 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 decided whether to go ahead with her dream of coming to the UK or stay back with her new-born. Will she have to wait for another 15 years, just like Prisca?

This podcast, ‘Motherhood crossing borders’, will follow the journey of Prisca and Sylvia who had to navigate their way to take ‘difficult decisions’, challenge gender stereotypes, and break patriarchal barriers.
