    My mother has chronic back pain and is unable to work. My father works but his income is not enough for us to live here. I clean staircase of buildings around but I am also paid very little. Yes, I am going to school but children insult me a lot there. I will probably quit and, with the extra time I will have, I will look for a better-paying job.

    My father was ill so he could not work when we came here six years ago. We had also little money so I could not be enrolled at school later. And now, my father does not allow me even to go out because I grew up. For families from Aleppo, girls above 14 are no more regarded a child. They get married.
