Rahmudeen

“The Taliban killed my parents when I was eleven years old and I still cry many nights because I can’t forget them. My brother came to Austria before me and is studying to become a policeman. I followed him so we can be together.”

Kamkay

“I am in love. She’s in Afghanistan and we really miss each other. But we are not engaged, so she can’t come here. It’s not allowed in our religion.”

Naveed Ul Allah

“I have been in Austria for two months, but I feel like nobody cares about us. I want to study but I’m not allowed. Ever since I got here I forgot how to laugh. I forgot everything.”
