Why We Flee: The Taliban Says We are All Infidels

If you have a child, you will understand how I feel.

We Were Stuck Between Two Patrols

We only had enough to get this far, here in Greece. Now we’re stuck.

The Journey: I Want to Go Back to School

I want to have a room with a bed and space to breathe.

I Was Thinking of Suicide

I am a lonely woman with two children.

I Produced Media Against the Taliban

I graduated with a degree in journalism and joined the Afghan police force.

We are Scattered

My father and brother made it to Sweden; my mother and I are trapped in Greece.

“I Married When I was Ten-Years-Old”

Now I am alone, living in a tent here in Greece.

My Uncle Said, “I Can't Cut Off Anyone’s Head”

They took my uncle and he’s been gone for six years.

I Had a Mechanic Shop

A husband, a father, a mechanic. Now a refugee.

Hope

Even when all else is beyond our control, hope keeps us from giving up.

We Married Anyway

I know I have to start and build a new life from the beginning.

Who Will Listen to Our Pain?

I am responsible for the welfare of my children.

I am a Refugee Child

We hope for peace, friendship, good behavior and good treatment. And my wish is peace.

If Peace Returns, We Will Go Back

If peace returns to Afghanistan one day, we will definitely go back. I had a peaceful and good life there. I had a house and a job.
