Hekma: A dangerous Journey for Children
Telling the Real Story
Description
Hekma grew up in western Sudan and lived a normal and happy life. This all changed when she got married. Her husband’s family considered his choice of bride a disgrace because Hekma came from a dark-skinned tribe that traditionally had been seen as slaves. When she had given birth to her son and was pregnant with her daughter, she decided to leave Sudan because of the hatred she met from her in-laws. She went to Egypt. Her husband’s family threatened to follow her there and kill her children, so she thought of going to Europe. From movies she had watched, she got the impression that there is no racism in Europe. A friend helped to arrange the journey.
