In 1995, their village was burned. When her youngest Rabia was three and older daughter was five years old, she was forced to migrate to central Diyarbakır by “taking nothing from the house, just her daughters on her shoulders”. They settled down in the house in the neighborhood of 450 Evler, in which they still reside. The house was given to her relatives after the earthquake. So she does not need to pay rent.
Di sala 1995an de gundên dişewitînin. Dema bi darê zorê ji gundê xwe koç dike, keça wê ya piçûk Rabîa 3 salî, ya mezin jî 5 salî bûye. Atali wê demê wiha tîne ziman: “Min her du keçen xwe girtin û bêyî tiştek ji malê hildim, me koçê Amedê kir. Dema hatine Amedê di mala ku niha jî lê ne de bi cih bûne. Wê malê piştî erdhêjê dabûne xizmên wî. Bo vê yekê kirêya xanî nade.
