A child genocide survivor whose family narrowly escaped being killed by Saddam Hussein’s regime has revealed how she left her high-flying job in London to help those she left behind.
Taban Shoresh, 36, who lives in London but is originally from Erbil, Kurdistan region of Iraq, built a successful career for herself at an Investment Asset Management firm after fleeing to the UK.
Whilst raising her son, she began to feel guilty about the suffering of those still in the region she left behind and returned to the area to do humanitarian work in 2014.
