I come from Afghanistan and arrived in Germany with my family six years ago. First of all, I\u2019d like to explain how I got to know a women\u2019s* group called Women in Exile. I met them in the summer of 2018 through a friend. We and several other immigrant women* from various cities were travelling around by bus and visiting a number of German cities. There we met refugee women* from different countries. All of them had problems due to insufficient food and the <em>Lagers<\/em>. And this powerful group, Women in Exile, has taught them that they can defend their rights against adversity and fight for their rights. All the women* who lived in <em>Lagers<\/em> were invited to workshops and we spoke with them about their problems and how they can fight for a better life. Some of them told us about their experience of living in <em>Lagers<\/em> in the past and how they achieved their demands \u2013 how they got out of the <em>Lagers<\/em>, found a home for themselves and lived with their children in peace. Sometimes we took to the streets and invited women* to chant slogans together with us: that we\u2019re all human and should live as equals, that no one is superior, and that we all have the right to a good life. Sometimes we partied and danced together and were happy, and ate together \u2013 it was most enjoyable. Unforgettable. All this was important to me, and it was the first time I saw how powerful the women* in this group are. And I wanted to be like them and help the women* of my country to fight for their rights and not be afraid that a woman* is deficient and should always stay at home and be oppressed. I\u2019ve been in this group for four years now and take part in workshops. I feel good with these ladies. I think they\u2019re part of me. I can\u2019t leave them. They\u2019re very kind, pleasant and strong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excerpt from pages 123\u2013124 of our book\u00a0\u201cBreaking Borders to Build Bridges\u201c available through\u00a0Edition Assemblage Hello, I\u2019m Marjan.
