“She [the lawyer] helped me a lot, that’s why I call her a superhero. She is my superhero really, without her, I would lose everything, I would lose hope, I don’t think I would have had a positive decision. Because I had no one to stand for my case, it was very tough and difficult, everything mixed, and she [the lawyer] helped me to put everything together.”
— Refugee from Gambia
