Newly arrived Afghan refugees in Canada share their stories of leaving Afghanistan and enduring hardships in Pakistani refugee camps.
Omida Amini, along with over 300 other government-assisted Afghan refugees, arrived in Canada on Wednesday aboard a charter flight from Pakistan.
As CEO of Women's Integrity for Society Empowerment , Amini was working tirelessly to empower women in her war-torn county. However, after the Taliban banned women in December 2022 from being able to work, her efforts were thwarted, forcing her to close the office. Amini, who dedicated many years to taking care of needy women, found herself once again experiencing a profound yearning for the support of her parents, just like in her childhood when she desperately needed their presence. However, she had never been fortunate enough to have them by her side, as her mother tragically passed away when she was merely four years old, and her father had fallen victim to unknown assailants even before her birth.
After encountering all challenges, Amini, along with over 300 other government-assisted Afghan refugees, arrived in Canada on Wednesday aboard a charter flight from Pakistan. Jawid Yousufi has been waiting for his visa since February of last year after he fled Afghanistan and sought refuge in Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan.
