Amina has been on a long, terrifying journey. Because of donations like yours, she is home safe and sound with her aunt in the USA.
Her parents had arranged a marriage for her to a man to "fix" her being a lesbian. In April her parents locked her in the house which hindered our efforts to help her. Her aunt flew to Egypt for a visit and told her sister she was taking Amina shopping. With your help we were able to get a new passport issued for Amina and an airline ticket to the USA. The two of them flew back together.
Amina is so happy to be home in the USA. She is sad that her parents rejected her sexual identity and angry that they would force her to marry a man. Amina is a smart, resilient young woman who can now live freely in the USA because of you! Thank you so much for supporting Amina! The AODVC Team
