Women

In the end you will be judged by the fullness of your heart.

There are many desperate people…

“We’re your friends, so let’s break down the walls”

When I dropped off my first carload … I asked, “May I stay and help?”

My husband told me to go to Germany with our youngest son because I am a math teacher and can speak English, and because I am strong.

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

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

I look forward to having a calm life filled with great achievements.

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

My husband is raising our three daughters and our son in a camp in Greece without me.

We have had war in Afghanistan since before I was born

I am a lonely woman with two children.

Because I am almost fourteen and the oldest son, I am responsible for our family.

I wanted to stay in Africa, but I wanted my life to be secure, so I came to Europe.

Our life was very good. We were very comfortable and happy.

When I was old enough, I was forced to marry the head of our region.

That’s why we came here—so they would not take him away from me.

We can’t go back. It is not safe for women there.

I graduate in June. I’m not going to leave working with refugees behind.

“I decided then and there I wanted to become involved in helping refugees.”
