The story of Farzaneh: A mother-to-be refugee's struggle Assalamu Alaykum Many of you noticed that our email subject the day before yesterday referred to Farzaneh's story but didn't contain it. Apologies for that - we're bringing it to you now! Its a moving instance of how NZF helps the people it does, and very relevant to the week we are in at the moment. Farzaneh and her husband escaped the harsh conditions in their home country and had made it to Australia as asylum seekers. After a few years of processing, they were finally granted refugee status and placed in the community in regional NSW. The years of hardship took its toll on their marriage and Farzaneh and her husband separated shortly after getting their refugee visa. Soon Farzaneh discovered she was pregnant and tried to reconcile with her husband but it did not work out. She was now a young, to-be mother, in a new country all on her own. |
