  Title: "The Unsung Heroes of Male' - Women Who Keep Our City Clean" Groupwork Done by: Ahmed Rilwan / Mariyam Mohamed A short brief on our story idea:  In this sound slide, we wanted to celebrate the women who quietly keep Malé moving, the ones who sweep our streets, clean our roads, and work long before most of us even wake up. These women may not stand in the spotlight, but their dedication shapes the heartbeat of our capital every single day. They face the heat, the rain, the noise, and the rush of the city, yet they show up with strength, dignity, and resilience. Because of them, our roads are cleaner, our mornings brighter, and our community safer. We often walk past them without realizing the weight of the work they do. But today, let’s call them what they truly are "Unsung Heroes". To every woman keeping Malé clean and beautiful: thank you. You deserve recognition, respect, and endless appreciation.

                                                                           The Maldives is facing crossroads in media freedom.   The people’s majilis is now considering the media and broadcasting regulation bill, which is being presented as an essential step toward modernizing media oversight.
