“Danemarkiya!” My father exclaimed when I told him about my dream. A dream where I was dreaming in Arabic as opposed to my usual Danish. I was touched and felt the joy warming my heart – my own father says I am Danish.
This is a story about a 21-year-old young woman and her journey to be seen and recognized in the country she was born in. As a Dane.
The story shows a strong woman struggling with the system to gain Danish citizenship while at the same time trying to find inner peace in a world with great uncertainty for her future.
“Where is home?” is written for the average citizen who wants a better understanding of what it means to live with a temporary residence permit.
