"Refugees experience all kinds of trauma prior to, during, and after their journeys to safety..."

Arrival

"I only want to be treated like a human being. I just want to be free and to live in peace and safety..."

I Only Want to be Treated Like a Human Being

I just want to be free and to live in peace and safety.

Belonging: I Work Hard so I Can Succeed Here

I want my family to stay together here where we can be safe.

We left Iran because we are Afghans.
