Meet FYF’s Field Operations Officer, Bafreen Barakat

“At FYF, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing the profound impact of the organization on both a personal and community level. FYF isn’t just a workplace; it’s a transformative journey that has motivated me in various ways.

In a world where finding a job is relatively easy, finding an organization like FYF with such an encouraging mission is exceptionally rare. FYF provides not only employment, but opportunities for personal growth and development. It’s a place where employees are nurtured and encouraged to emerge as effective female leaders, with a deep understanding of the values that every person should hold dear.

I’m deeply motivated by the knowledge that every action we take at FYF contributes to a brighter, more hopeful future for the Yezidi community. FYF’s impact is about empowerment, resilience, female leadership, and social cohesion. FYF doesn’t just provide assistance, it helps people rebuild their lives and regain their sense of pride.

FYF’s mission inspires me daily to be part of a change that transcends individuals and touches the core of a community’s spirit.”
