Real life stories

For many years I felt weak. I couldn't make my own decisions. I couldn't talk about what I was feeling. My control was in the hands of my family.

I left my country (Cameroon) without the knowledge of those closest to me: my sisters, my sick mother or my husband. The hardest part of this process was that I had to leave my children. I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to my children. My life was in danger because of my choices, my beliefs, and my thoughts. I couldn't tell anyone that I was leaving.

Coming in new country I had to face a lot of challenges. First of all the language, I needed to find a place to live and a job to survive. With the help of locals NGO’s I am confident again to start my live but I will never forgot what I left behind.
