Migration and New Beginnings
Sudabe’s migration journey was fraught with challenges. She initially moved to France before securing a visa to the United Kingdom. During this time, Iran was embroiled in the Iran-Iraq War, making it difficult for her husband to send financial support. Sudabe, now a single mother with two young children, faced immense hardships as she tried to build a new life in a foreign land.
In England, Sudabe juggled multiple roles: student, mother, and worker. She took on various low-level jobs to support her family while continuing her education. The struggle to adapt to a new culture and language, combined with the responsibilities of raising her children alone, tested her resilience. Yet, these years were pivotal, marking a turning point in her life and setting the stage for her future advocacy work.
