Migrant Voices: Rana's story

The stories of five different migrants from across Oxfordshire, exploring what home and belonging mean to them.

Dr Hosnieh Djafari Marbini hears from Rana Ibrahim who runs the Iraqi Women Art & War group in Oxford. She was an Archaeologist in Iraq and came here with her husband and child. She misses her work, her family, and has a deep longing for her old garden.

She nearly lost her identity through trying to build another one here. She feels Iraqi as well as British. She feels she has been given a chance to flourish here, but she mustn't lose her Iraqi culture for the sake of her children.
