'I was raped by Assad 's thugs but I'm no longer afraid to show my face ' René Shevan is among around six million Syrians who fled the country and found safety in Europe .

René says he is "realistic" about the prospect of change in Syria , but not yet confident about living in Syria as a gay person just yet.

Nujeen grew up in Aleppo and then went to her family's hometown of Kobane , a Kurdish stronghold.

The fall of Assad has only deepened her faith in Syria and its people.

She wants a nation of love, acceptance and peace, not one of chaos, fear and destruction.
