REMEMBER......IF YOU DO OR DONT DO SOMETHING BY YOUR OWN FREE WILL, GIVEN THE CHOICE,..THEN IT IS NOT OPPRESSION!!!!!!

KNOW  that most women asylum seekers believe and say that " I decided not to tell anyone [what really happened to me] because it is a shame and it is hurting, and I thought maybe it is not necessary to mention. The only question [I was asked] was why I left my country so I just said the things that I was comfortable with and I didn't know ..."

UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO TELL >>>YOU WONT BE ABLE TO TELL!!!


KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK TO YA ALL!

THANK YOU.
