Fleeing to Türkiye from Syria
Registering your personal details in the government system may sound easy, but it was not the case for Rawan. She fled to Türkiye when her house was destroyed by the conflict in Idlib, Syria, in 2012. She spent the next years living in a camp, only to move when the camp closed in 2018.
Afterward, she moved to Kilis, where her husband had a hard time finding a job, so they decided he would go back to Syria to work there.
“He wanted to support our children. It is still unsafe for them to live in Idlib because the conflict is ongoing, plus many schools were destroyed, so Türkiye is the only option for us at present.”
