Nujeen Mustafa is a disability and refugees rights advocate born in Syria. Due to bombing and shelling of her hometown Aleppo, she first flew to Turkey and a year later, at the age of 16, together with her sister to Germany in her wheelchair. During their flight they crossed the Mediterranean to Greece by boot and crossed many country borders by bus, train and foot, with her sister pushing her wheelchair. She started attending school in Germany, as the infrastructure in Syria and Turkey were not aligned for people with disabilities. Today she still resides in Germany, near Cologne, and is about to finish high school with her A-levels. She speaks Kurdish, Arabic, German as well as English, which she taught herself in Syria watching American soap operas.
