Notes

Summary:
Alexandra Habib was born in Lima, Peru. She immigrated to the united states in 2018 due to safety and financial freedom. In her story, Alexandra shares her personal experience of being a professional and having stability in her home country. However, a shocking experience changed her life forever, influencing her decision to come to the United States. In addition, she presents statistics on how millions of women suffer daily due to safety in their home countries. Today Alexandra faces obstacles, but she values financial freedom and safety. In protecting her family, she realized that her life was in danger. Therefore, Alexandra's purpose is to create awareness about immigrants in society and ensure that immigrants are not considered a social problem. ( ,,,, )
