Author's Note
Clarification
This is a work of fiction. While it draws inspiration from real issues faced in different parts of the world ... including child exploitation, gender-based oppression, and the psychological trauma of war ...
the characters, events, and settings have been fictionalized for the purpose of storytelling and awareness.
The intention is not to sensationalize violence or promote hatred, but rather to shed light on the harsh realities faced by many, especially vulnerable children and women, in a way that encourages empathy, reflection, and social responsibility.
Reader discretion is advised.
