Feministschool: The following is written by Mansoureh Shojaee:

„ No matter how long or short the journey, it ends where it started

On the way back, your heart glows with the hope of returning to a familiar, warm and enduring home and seeing the people waiting to hear your stories
- This hope is called „home“.

When you arrive, you let your bags fall to the ground, talk , listen and build up your strength for the road, for the next Jourey
- This ground is called „ home“.

It is the hope of reaching the beginning and end of each journey this hope no longer exists the onslaught of violence and insecurity has stolen this hoop from me
- This stolen hope is called „ home“
