From Foreign Countries who dont share a common history traditions or even a language can be difficult germanys government has been working to introduce programs for new arrivals to learn german and all about the country yet theres one group theyre struggling to reach refugee women we spoke to two defined out more about the hurdles they face and acclimating to their new home. Happy day from afghanistan has a secret. I cant write my first or last name and the. Time i also barely knows how to read and write like that i went to school for two years then i worked as a hairdresser and then i was a housewife. And climbin are among the female refugees who have an especially hard time integrating into life in germany. Timeline is a twenty three year old iraqi kurds she married at fourteen now she her husband and their three School Age Children are living in a refugee hostel in cologne they mainly keep to themselves. And i dont have any german friends i only know one person from spain id like to make german friends but ive never had the chance that. Also has little contact with germans shes only got to know one jim a woman at the refugee hostel. Weve been friends with her for a year when we have problems or get letters from the authorities she helps us then we make an appointment my daughter meets her and brings the letters a lot and when we have to go to the job center she goes with us. To what the mo she helps us a lot and were very grateful to her. When i say im as good as a horse on here in germany happy bay and her children still feel like theyre outside just looking in the forty four year old widow lives in her own cultural bubble and has little contact with German Society. One of the ways germany is trying to reach out to women like happy bank is by offering what it calls the threshold literacy courses a. View of what. We want to help these were. Men get out of their homes and get to know the area they live in to learn german need other women to have contact with others and move around freely. The courses are being offered by the federal office for migration and refugees its a first step but experts say more needs to be done. Its not enough to integrate these newcomers into German Society you have to focus on the children and for that you need the mothers to. See if any of the immigrants who are coming to us now will have in the past. The fathers are like the ancient roman paterfamilias the head of the family who calls the shots and often keeps his wife in the background off your throne and remember every of as your career ching out to these women through the low threshold literacy courses and it be very helpful if the start patterns change too but lets not kid ourselves thats not going to change overnight or its a lengthy process and these courses contribute to that these are caused. By talk thats why there have been give yesterday we practiced a dialogue no. Zero. Four but i think over a million refugees have come to germany since twenty fifteen last year the government tripled funding for low threshold literacy courses to more than two Million Euros a year but thats just enough to give women a basic introduction to the new country many women never get beyond that that was long the case with qwest and rita occurred who came to germany seventeen years ago with her husband and two sons her husband didnt want her to attend an Integration Course but question was determined to end isolation she learned german and now helps other women immigrants she says many feel selfconscious and overwhelmed. Some women dont want to because theyre busy with their kids or have no desire to learn. Many women whove been here a long time can understand german want to buy and even speak a little theyre just afraid to go in this fashion. It took a lot of courage for queston to integrate into German Society she sought help from karen towers a special Service Organization but experts say that for more women to follow her lead germany must actively promote policies that combat patry arkell v most of us verb to call is that will lead to conflicts with the family values practiced at home. State should stand firm and be willing to make demands on parents and even on children so kinda the goal has to be achieving a reasonable level of assimilation into our Civil Society into gods will in bricked out helping women could be key to achieving this goal because time and have baby and others like them want to make a life for themselves and their children in germany.
