Dr. Elma Halaj is a general practitioner who has been interested in social activities since she was a student and is currently active in the medical community. The issue of mothers and families who have been separated from their loved ones for decades and are unable to communicate with them attracted her attention as a case of civil rights and human rights.
The text of her speech at the conference of the documentary “Love, Mother, Separation” directed by Aldo Solulari, media director of the Albanian Rescue Association, is as follows:
Dear attendees,
Today we have reached a special moment, not only for the Nejat Society, but for all those who have contributed to this wonderful journey. That’s why I want to share a few words about the Nejat Society, an association that has done an extraordinary job for the integration of Iranians in Albania, especially those who have left the MEK organization.
Nejat Society has been a guiding light for those who have been looking for a better life and an opportunity to renew their hopes. The latest film project, which has brought the stories of our lives and the challenges we have gone through, is a testament to the strength and resilience of our community. This film is an important step to raise awareness and show that we are more than just stories; we are individuals with our own dreams, aspirations and contributions to Albanian society.
As a medical doctor, I understand the importance of support and solidarity at every step of life. I hope that every student, every professional and every individual who is part of this community will continue to support projects like these, which create opportunities and help build a better and more equal society.
Thank you to Nejat Society for your hard work and the inspiration you provide to all of us. Let’s continue to work together, for a brighter and more united future.
Thank you
