● Quotes from the meeting:

The mother says to her son, "Why don't you listen to me? In Eritrea, we always listen to our parents."

Son: You don't listen to me, so I don't listen to you.

The mother: When I was a child, I did everything my mother asked without asking questions.

Son: She must have listened to you.

The mother: So I realized that something I was doing was wrong.

We respectfully thank the "KEREN BEKAVOD" for this partnership and for implementing the new cycle.
