Stories

Over the years the Immigrant Council has supported many individuals and families with immigration questions, concerns and challenges. All of them have survived difficulties most of us have never had to face. The bravery of those we have met and worked alongside inspires us every day.

Read about their experiences below – the mother who would stop at nothing to be reunited with her daughter, the victims of trafficking who have escaped exploitation and built new lives, the stateless man seeking a home and fulfil his dream of becoming a doctor. These are our every day heroes.

If you would like to share your own story with us, get in touch. We'd love to hear from you!

Sabal
For Sabal and many frontline healthcare workers, racism and discrimination is something they face every day on the job
Anne Waithira Burke
Migrant Internship Scheme should be ongoing for migrants, the benefits are tremendous!
Grace
A former victim of trafficking, Grace’s bravery saw one of her traffickers arrested and another deported.
Haikal Mansor
Haikal dreams of becoming a doctor, but is currently living a life in limbo because the Irish Government does not recognize that he, like thousands of Rohingya, is stateless.
Yulia Ghumman
Yulia Ghumman, originally from Ukraine, interned with Cllr Duncan Smith of Fingal County Council as part of the Immigrant Council’s 2018 Migrant-Councillor Internship Scheme.
Owodunni Ola Mustapha
A mum of 3 kids, Owodunni came to Ireland with her family seeking international protection and a better life for her children.
