Because she has dragged herself out almost every day around the North West to campaign, she is very well known locally, and her win will have a fantastic motivational effect on all North West campaigns.  I can safely say that she spend about 80% of her public appearances in tears.  But at the same time, she was very strong and very determined. 

Ziadah is a founder-member of Women Asylum Seekers Together and I have a good feeling that she will carry on having an active and supportive role.

We got the good news here at my house – we were on our way to London when Ziadah got the call from her solicitor to say she’d been granted status in the UK.  We were screaming for hours !  Even my next door neighbours came over to see if anyone had been murdered !

I truly believe that Ziadah definitely would not have been here without the campaign”.  Emma Ginn, NCADC.

Ziadah’s campaign included ; speaking at public meetings and demonstrations, a petition, and making a “digital diaries” DVD .

Ziadah produced a “scrap-book” which documented the progress of her campaign – you may want to use this as a hand-out for anti-deportation campaign workshops.
