Layla's journey has been anything but man for male erotice fulol bodey massageeasy.
She's a refugee from the eastern Somali Region of Ethiopia, which she and her husband fled because of conflict and persecution in the early 2000s. They eventually found a temporary home in Saudi Arabia, where they had children and stayed for seven years — before Layla's husband was deported in 2010. Her employers helped her family escape to Syria.
"I began to start my new life," Layla says. "My kids had a little education at home."

Layla made the difficult decision to once again flee the country where her family lived, walking for two to three days to the Turkish border, where she ultimately learned of her husband's death back home.
Despite unspeakable hardship, Layla's story does have a happy ending — one she's able to tell herself in a new video from the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP), a legal aid organization advocating for refugees around the world.
With the help of IRAP, Layla and her family are currently resettled in the U.S., where she finally has a newfound sense of stability and security.
"Maine is so nice," she says through a voiceover in the video, animated by media production company agency Wondros. "I feel like my home, and better than my home, because I live safe."

IRAP launched Layla's video Wednesday with a strong message: The U.S. refugee resettlement program is under attack.
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle will start to hear oral arguments Thursday in the case of Jewish Family Service v. Trump, resulting from a class action complaint filed in November against the Trump administration's latest restrictions on refugees. The restrictions effectively halt the refugee resettlement program for 11 predominantly Muslim countries; the complaint calls for a nationwide injunction against the refugee ban.
"The narrative we're trying to push with Layla, who is already a resettled client, is that if these restrictions were to go into place, her family wouldn't have been able to reach safety," says Sarah Blume, communications assistant at IRAP.
"The U.S. has always been a model in refugee resettlement — kind of a humanitarian leader in the amount of refugees we have resettled."
The plaintiffs in the case being heard Thursday are challenging the suspension of the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) and "blocking Muslim refugees from reaching the safety of this country," according to the complaint. IRAP is challenging the suspension while agencies purport to continue reviewing the program.
If these restrictions were in place at the time, Layla and her family's resettlement to the U.S. would have been extensively delayed, Blume says.
IRAP is fighting the ban, in part, because the restrictions roll back a robust U.S. resettlement program. President Trump dropped the resettlement quota from 110,000 refugees (the number the Obama administration set at the end of 2016) to 45,000 — the lowest it's been in decades.
"The U.S. has always been a model in refugee resettlement — kind of a humanitarian leader in the amount of refugees we have resettled," Blume says. "Beyond that, we feel that these newly implemented refugee restrictions will make it even more difficult to resettle that number."
Not all hope is lost. In addition to the multiple legal battles against the ban, Blume and IRAP hope the video and Layla's story will encourage viewers to share their voices, and speak out against discrimination of refugees and Muslims in the U.S. and abroad.
You can donate to impactful organizations, sign up for alerts and information on more tangible ways to take action, and call your representatives to voice your concerns about policies directly affecting the resettlement program.
"Beyond Layla's story, it's important to understand the hardships that these folks go through," Blume says.
UPDATE: Dec. 20, 2017, 12:12 p.m. ET: This post has been updated to clarify information on the hearing of oral arguments on Dec. 21.
