Amina’s story: the justice system, faith, and carrying shame
Amina’s story: the justice system, faith, and carrying shame
Amina grew up in a close-knit Muslim family with her mum and two younger sisters. As the eldest daughter, it was important to her to work hard and excel academically. She earned a science degree and later trained as a teacher.“I was sociable and really career orientated. I’d just finished my teacher training course and was working in a supply teaching role. I was looking forward to building my career in teaching.”In her personal life, things weren’t going so smoothly. Amina ended the relationship that she was in as it was abusive. And from there, things took a turn for the worse. Her ex-partner continued to make unwanted contact: “he messaged me every single day, sometimes several times a day – it went on for months.”
