Refugee Week is a vital reminder of the resilience and strength it takes to seek safety and rebuild a life.
Solidarity cannot begin and end with a single week. We must continue to defend the rights of refugees, including Black, minoritised and migrant women fleeing abuse, every day of the year.
Four years on, we remember Zara Aleena.
Zara should have made it home safely. Instead, her life was stolen by a man’s violence and the state's multiple failures in stopping him.
Join us in remembrance and solidarity.✊🏽
