With support from our organisation over several years, they were able to secure leave to remain in 2018. Today, Fathima and Mohamed are British citizens, settled in the UK, and their children are pursuing successful careers.Their story is a powerful reminder of the importance of long-term support, community, and access to justice.Watch Fathima and Mohamed’s story and hear their reflections on their journey with Justice First.Full-length versions of our films are available on our YouTube channel, with more stories to come throughout the year: youtu.be/k5prO7lewYM?si=T7EilVAGqgSCpLlsPlease help us share their story and celebrate 20 years of Justice First.If their story inspires you, please consider making a donation to help us reach our £20,000 anniversary fundraising target.
