How Can We Support Women Refugees?
Today, we're looking at the highest number of recorded people forcibly displaced—and women refugees endure the deepest injustices. After flashpoints of crises and conflict, the world's attention moves on but women must survive without basic resources such as food and water in communities that put women's needs and voices last.
But women have the power to bring peace.
We stand with refugee and displaced women because every woman deserves safety, stability, and agency over her own life. And we see that when women find and use their voices, they reinvest their power in the future of their families and to rebuild their communities.
This World Refugee Day, show your solidarity with refugee women who are using their power to rebuild their lives and communities.
