We are working on a project on inter and multi culture and so we took part in a conference on Women's Right. Here, some immigrant women spoke about their experiences. All the stories were different, but each of them, spoke about the difficulties of beginning a new life in a new country, of being accepted and of the courage to go on. They all shared a strong will, motivation and a family to take care of, and this gave them the strength to carry on and succeeded. Racial prejudices shouldn’t exist, because all worthy people should deserve a chance.
At the conference three foreign women were present. One was born in Senegal, one in libano and one in Colombia.
They moved to Triest for several reasons,however,encountered similar difficulties in the integration in italian society.
one of these women is alba Torres. She is a single mother of two children. She moved from Colombia to Triest under pressue of their parents because she had problems with the father of her doughters. Here in Triest she was helped by an aunt, but her life was no easy because she didn't know the language and so she had to attend courses, and in the meantime she had to work. Another problem is that she could see her children and her mother rarely because they were in Colombia and it was difficult to obtain the resident permit.
