An example of struggle and overcoming. Although Latifa is a shy woman and has suffered gender violence, one day she broke all her fears with a single slam. Today nothing and no one can harm her because she is a new woman. A woman of steel, who feels stronger than ever, reports Elfarodeceuta. 

Latifa El Guessaoui was born in 1971 in Morocco and arrived in Ceuta, Spain in 1999 to look for work and, above all, a new life. Something that despite its physical disability of 38 percent and the doors that were closed at the beginning, has not been impossible for her. Its history shows that if you want you can. At 49 he has worked as a cleaner in several houses and companies, since he moved to Ceuta more than twenty years ago, where she lives with his three children today.

Currently, together with her colleagues, she works in Plena Inclusion a Services and Maintenance company, in which she is responsible for cleaning several public centers in the city and thanks to which she has a stable job that allows her to support her family.

In addition, he takes care of his son, who has an intellectual disability, 68 percent, as well as autism, and to whom she instills that he must study whether tomorrow if he wants to have a stable job and a family.
