This three-year project records and preserves the experiences of immigrant women in Norway who have lived under gender apartheid. Through oral histories, a book, and a documentary film, it explores how gender apartheid is enforced, resisted, and navigated, and how individuals rebuild their lives in a new society. In doing so, the project deepens our understanding of what gender apartheid is and its impact on those who have experienced it.
Oral Histories (2025) – In-depth interviews documenting personal experiences
The Book (2026) – A non-fiction work in Norwegian, written by Fatemeh Ekhtesari
