Souad has been a women, who grew up in the West Bank. She lived in a Muslim family. Her daily life was hard. She had to get up early , then she had to take the sheeps to the willow. She had to cook for the whole family and she had to clean the house and the cowshed. She had never seen anything else than her house and the way to the willow. Almost every day she had been beaten by her father. Sometimes she had to sleep in the cowshed, because in her village women were worth less than a cow. She couldn't have gone to the school neither go to a other place. There the life as a women was terrible.
When she was 17, she fell in love with a man. Unfortunately she was not allowed to marry this guy, because she had had a older sister who had to be married first. Nevertheless she met secretly the man. After a few weeks she noticed that her menstruation fell out. She was pregnant. Of course that was a big problem. 3 Month later her father felt that something was wrong. Finally he realized that his daugther was pregnant. She injured the honour of her family. Souad knew that something bad happened. One day, she was heating the oven, her brother came with a big bottle and he emptied it over her head. One second later Souad was burning all over the body. She run to the street and throw herself on the street. While she was turning herself some women came to help her to choke the fire, then she became powerless.
When she waked up, she was in a hospital. She felt the pain all over. Her skin was burned and she couldn't move. Some days later a women from Switzerland came to visit her. Rebekka was her name and she had been working for an Organisation, which had been helping people like Souad. Women like Souad hadn't received some help from people (friends, family etc.) neither from the hospital employees. Rebekka decided to take her to Switzerland, where she received help.
Souad had in Switzerland a lot of operations an skintransplantations. However it was the only way to save her life. Today she had been living in Germany as a satisfied women with her own family.
