My name is Sakineh and I am from Iran.
I came to Australia 3 years ago and I had a lot of hardships throughout my journey.
I learnt a lot of things during the long wait in detention. First I was spending my loneliness writing short stories, then I started to paint. I love painting and writing. I hope that my short stories get published one day, next to my paintings.
