I want to open a workshop and name it after my son, says Najlaa from Iraq, a seamstress finding new hope after tragic loss
Najlaa lives in Karakosh, a town in northern Iraq. She is 50 years old, works as a seamstress, and her story is one of grief, faith, and quiet determination. In 2023, she lost her son in a car accident. Since then, she has been dreaming of opening her own sewing workshop – and naming it in his memory.
