Hello, my name is Ayna. I am a human rights activist, advocating against dictatorship and for women’s rights. As a refugee residing in an AZC camp, I am dedicated to helping women in every way I can. I provide English lessons to women on the ship, which brings me a sense of freedom and happiness. Being able to speak a language empowers individuals to express themselves, a fundamental aspect of freedom.
In addition to teaching English, I assist women with translations and aim to start teaching Dutch soon. I am grateful to COA for organizing and providing the space to conduct these classes. Through language education, we are building a community of empowered women who can better navigate their lives and advocate for their rights.
