Hellz … Despite the harsh conditions, she has not lost hope in finding a decent life worthy of her

The stories of displacement are similar when you leave your country for fear of your life … Do not realize that what awaits you will be more severe than death.
In a daily quest for a life worthy of human beings, the burden lies in the displacement of women, especially in light of the loss of the father or husband or the fallen prey to disease.

Refugee women leaving their countries to escape death face grim fate, and this is one of their stories:

Hellz Ali, a Kurdish refugee who comes from a family of Yazidi religious origins from one of the villages in the northern countryside of Hasaka in Al Jazeera, worked hard and got tired until she got a high school diploma, then entered the Euphrates University in the Geography Department in light of the outbreak of the Syrian crisis.
Her family consists of a handicapped brother, and parents from one of the villages of Hasaka. The war of Syria has lived for years and increased its suffering, under more severe conditions in light of the rampant diseases in her family.

Hellz began a more difficult life than the girls of her generation. She was studying and working simultaneously to spend on her family and treat her patients.

With the ISIS approaching as a dominant force in the region and extremism against national minorities such as the Kurds and religions such as Yazidis, Assyrians, Armenians, and other ethnicities in Syria, Hellz fled with her family to Turkey to live in conditions more difficult than death.

With the end of 2013, when the war conditions intensified, and ISIS approached the region, its fear for its Yezidi family from the oppression of ISIS pushed them to flee to the neighboring countries of Syria, so it chose its way to the Turkish borders, so it arrived at nightfall between the cities of Darbasiyah and Amouda to cross the wires.

After various difficulties, and her family’s exposure to bullets from gendarme (Turkish border guards), she reached her relatives in Mardin and settled there.

A few days later, Hills began working in a city’s restaurant with cooking and cleaning.

In addition to the daily insults from the owners of the restaurant and lack of proficiency in the Turkish language, it was used just because she is a refugee and a Syrian and she was paid for her long work a salary that is very little enough to rent the house, but the living conditions and illness of her family led her to endure all the difficulties and insults in order to secure a decent life for her family.

After a period of daily harassment and the exploitation of clients and harassment of them and their transfer to more than one job, other restaurants, hotels, homes, buildings, etc., each time she faced the same difficulties, harassment, insults, and lack of financial returns, which led her to leave work and research for another job that preserves her dignity.

Hellz was unable to study in Turkey because she did not have her school papers, and in the shadow of Corona, conditions worsened with her and her family, so her disabled brother’s health worsened.

Hellz ends her words that she dies every day in front of her brother’s scene in his condition when he is in his life spring.

Hellz is still out of work and unable to leave the house because of her fear that Corona will reach her sick, healthy family.

The story of “Hellz” may be part of a reality series that is repeated daily with other Syrian families, which were pushed by the circumstances of the war to flee from their homeland, between the choice of longing for bloodshed and the option of being insulted every day in exile.
But she has not lost hope in finding a decent life worthy of her.
