Zeynab’s Story

I am 54 years old.

I was born in Afghanistan. I have two boys and five girls.

In Afghanistan, I was a tailor and made clothes.

I had a husband who worked for the government and had a big company.

The Taliban did not like this and he was taken.

We do not know where he is or if he will ever come back.

I left Afghanistan because it was not safe for me or my children. Two of my girls stayed there.

I came to America as a refugee because it is far from Afghanistan and safer for my children.

I have lived in America for almost 4 years.
