At the Women Refugee Committee we are helping forcibly displaced women navigate through their new geographical, social, and cultural environment.
We are a platform where refugee women can share personal experiences and success stories, raising awareness of the gender-related challenges faced by refugees.
By doing so, we are amplifying the voices of refugee women as an underrepresented and vulnerable yet powerful group.
