A long road to safety, healing for refugee mothers in Iraq

DOMIZ 2, Iraq –“I never thought I would have to start over,” Nermin* told UNFPA from Domiz 2 Camp in Iraq. She was 21 when she was uprooted from her hometown in Qamishli by the horrors of the Syrian conflict. It was 2012, and she had been studying to become a teacher. “The war forced me to choose between my dream and my life,” she said.She travelled with her parents and siblings to a refugee camp in Dohuk, a city in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. But she could not fully escape the violence she had witnessed.
