"I say myself how I can bring a child to such a world. So, we don't want to have a child now. If I have a child, I want to my child to be born in a beautiful world." said Cihan after two years of her marriage.

While we talk to Syrian women those who had to leave their home and came to Turkey due to ongoing war in their lands, the discussions of "grant citizenship" to Syrian refugees in Turkey. Syrian women say, "We want war to be ended and we return our homes." They continue to tell what they experienced on migration routes and their life in Turkey. Cihan Muhammed welcomed us with a smilling face. She said she was very happy to see us by saying, "People rarely visit us here." Then she said, "I just want to return to my homeland. I live for this." Cihan told us her life before she came to Turkey and her dreams. 26-year-old Cihan Muhammed is a Syrian refugee woman in Turkey's Urfa city. Cihan had to leave Tel Abyat (Girê Spî) four years ago and she has taken refuge in Turkey. She was married a refuge man like her in Turkey.

Cihan said that she had worked in a factory in Syria, "We had a good life in Syria. Sometimes, I went to Damascus to work. I worked in the factory and we didn't look to somebody. We continued to work during the war. It was so horrible. We always thought the death. The war was spearding slowly to where we lived. We had to leave there. I didn't have any solution except leave there."

Cihan told us that she passed from border to Urfa with her family. "We began to work in the fields in Urfa. My husband is my relative. I wanted to marry him. My husband is working in Konya now. He is an agricultural laborer. We have financial difficulties. My husband had to go there for work. Mostly, I stay at home. I don't go out. Where can I go if I go out? People don't like us here. They never say something, but we understand that when they look us. I hope they never experience what we faced. We don't want to be citizens. We want to return our country. All Syrian people want to return to Syria. End the war in our country.

"I say myself how I can bring a child to such a world. So, we don't want to have a child now. If I have a child, I want to my child to be born in a beautiful world. War is like mud. War means not raise voice against massacres. They killed people, stole people's goods. We couldn't stay there because we didn't do what they did."
