ASUDE MEHEMED

Shahrizor- Zeynep Ehmed, who lives in the Saidsadiq district of Sulaymaniyah Governorate in the Kurdistan Region, started cracking walnuts to take care of her children and make a living after she lost her husband. “I work at home by cracking walnuts because I cannot work outside” she said.

“I raised my children alone”

“My husband died 30 years ago. After his death, I started working to take care of my children. I worked as an agricultural worker collecting tobacco, sunflowers. Then, I started cracking walnuts at home. I raised my children alone. Now, all my children are married and have their own families,” Zeynep Ehmed told NuJINHA.
