Our society is still a patriarchal society, governed by rigid gender roles, where being a man means being dominant, strong, the breadwinner — the patriarch.

When there is neither motivation to continue their education nor support to build a future here, some of them choose to leave. Not always as rebels, nor as adventurers — but often as invisible.
