Women

In order to save our family, we were obliged to leave our country.

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

I said, “God, I left my country because I don’t want to die and now people are dying in the desert.”

After our father died, we had no one to protect us.

It is my wish to resume my education.

We left our country because the Taliban tried to kill my husband several times.

With the annexation of Crimea, there was a great deal of fear and fighting. Vitalii and Lidiia wanted a better life for their children.

Wife, mother of three. Now a refugee seeking a better future for her family.

I brought my daughters here for their sake

I just want to live in a safe place where everyone can live in peace.

Sakina’s favorite thing about being in America is that it is safe and she gets to go to school.

In September 2016, Mohaned & Zainab arrived in Binghamton, Alabama with nothing.

In Iraq, Zainab was a stay-at-home mom and Mohaned was a taxi driver.

It’s the situation that is the horrible… thing. It’s not the people in it.

Our inherent value and worth as human beings.

The Boat was Sinking

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