"Being on the move is difficult in and of itself. To be a parent on the move is ten times worse". 29-year-old Zahra fled Syria with her family when the war broke out. She didn’t think it would take long before she and her family could settle down and start a new life in a safer part of the world. But now years have passed and Zahra is still on the run.
Today, she and her five children live in a refugee camp in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They’ve tried to cross the border into Croatia – an EU country – several times now without success. And life in the refugee camp is stressful. Here, Zahra can’t be the parent she wants to be for her children. In this episode of Save the Children Documentary, you will hear stories from the mothers themselves; about how it is to be a parent in a chaotic, unstable environment, with dreams of giving your children the most fundamental of things – a safe upbringing
