44-year-old woman granted leave to remain in the UK after 8 years of hell.
Berthe Patricia Nganga is a 44-year-old political refugee. She fled her hometown Brazzaville in Congo in 2003, where war ravaged. Her family were targeted and killed for their political beliefs.
Berthe Patricia Nganga was pediatric nurse in Congo Brazzaville; she worked at the local hospital and at her mother’s chemistry lab who got killed for not adhering the government’s ideology. As for her husband, he fled Congo in 1998 and Berthe has not heard of him yet. In 2003, Berthe fled too because people were after her because of her husband. When she arrived in the UK, the Home Office (ministerial department of the Government of the United Kingdom, responsible for immigration, security, and law and order) didn’t approved her story so she didn’t get an official refugee title. Because of that, she couldn’t work and do other things, which “can make you crazy”. After several years in the UK, spent in and out of detention, Berthe went to Glasgow and found the Scottish Refugee Council. This organization helped her through the process of being an official refugee and now, she is part of the Refugee Women’s Strategy Group.
“The group helps women get information and advice about everything to do with asylum.”
She is now free from the Home Office jurisdiction but has now volunteered to help fellow asylum seekers.
