Zohre Sabagh Nejad

Middle East Images
Iran
Fatemeh and her family are Afghan immigrants who have lived in Iran for many years. He has only seen Afghanistan up close once in his 20 years. His mother is a housewife and his father is a simple construction worker, and they have left Afghanistan for 38 years due to civil war and insecurity. She has only been in school for three years due to financial difficulties and for many years, weaves handicrafts and sells them to help her family. After a 6-year marriage with her cousin, Fatemeh held her simple wedding party with a lot of fear and hope and the least facilities in the sad autumn of this year with coronary conditions. The venue for the celebration was created by connecting metal scaffolding rods and covering them with sacks, carpets and rugs in the courtyards of several Afghan families.
