“I think about freedom, and [my] feelings become beautiful…”
Lina is a 12-year-old free spirit; a dreamer who adores birds and the sky and longs for adventures outside Zaatari. She feels the restrictions of camp life deeply, and is worn-down by society’s inequalities and how they affect girls in particular. Lina often questions birds on the ground about why they aren’t flying, and speaks with wonder as she looks up at the sky, imagining the thrill of travel.
While she struggles with life in the camp and longs to be free, Lina has been changed by attending the girls’ empowerment centre, which Save the Children opened in 2022. She’s uncovered a talent for drawing and is learning three languages. “It is a very happy place and I love it,” says Lina, who’s started to laugh more since joining, and is most excited by learning self-defence. She loves how it makes her feel strong and the emotional release of it all: “I like to wear the gloves and when I start punching, it feels like I'm letting out my anger…”
More than 250 girls age 10-19 currently attend the centre alongside Lina. It’s a rare girls-only space where sessions are delivered by female mentors. Topics, chosen by the girls and mentors, range widely from sexual and reproductive health and rights, to languages, art, yoga and self-defence.
Lina attends on weekdays and finds herself longing for the weekend to be over so she can return to the place that offers her empowerment, friendship and freedom – if not from the camp, from the heaviness that comes with growing up here when your head is in the clouds and your heart longs for adventure. “When we come to the centre,” explains Lina, “we have freedom to play. We jump, we play hopscotch, we play in circles...”
