The women we meet everyday tell us, “It’s not our war, we had a house, a family a job, we did not ask for anything. They came to destroy our houses, kill our families and torture us. Now help us, free our prisoners and help us do something. We want to work. “. We promised to help them.
Our actions are directed exclusively to the needs expressed by the victims and not by anticipation or interpretation of what is thought to be their needs. What we have seen are people who have suffered but do not want to look back and feel sorry for the lost life. We have seen women who want to look ahead, rebuild themselves, improve things, prepare the future for themselves and for future generations. We were surprised by the will to move forward, despite the tremendous violence and horror. Their message and our goal and are clear: turn your back on yesterday, face today and look towards tomorrow!
