 My family was forced to flee our home with no chance to return safely. Scared and alone, we registered as refugees. Luckily, my family was one of the few chosen to be interviewed for resettlement. We completed a national security screening and health assessment. IOM doctors made sure we were well and could receive treatment in the UK if needed. The day we received our visas was the happiest day of my life. At the pre-departure orientation, IOM introduced us to life in the UK. IOM arranged our flights and when the day finally came for us to travel, they were there to help. It was daunting moving to a new country where everything was different. We didn't even speak the language. A community support worker helped us start English classes, enrolled my daughter in school and gave me information on how I could find work. I missed my life from before, but Britain is now our home. That is a wonderful feeling. IOM has resettled over 20,000 refugees to the UK since 2004. 75% were women and children. Even then, less than 1% of refugees worldwide is resettled. More can be done.
