A message from the Founder of Forced To Flee on International Women's Day 2020
To all women,
Today, thousands of women are forced to flee their homes, live lives in slavery and prostitution, not entitled to equal rights and have their voices silenced. Today, leaders of the world allow this to continue, and some even partake in such activities! This International Women's Day, I want to share a message that acts such as those will not go unheard, they will not be silenced. My mission is to ensure that women of the future do not have to live in such a world and that all people; men, women and whatever gender one may be; can live in harmony and peace together. Celebrating each other's differences, celebrating each other's achievements and making the world a better place together.
We celebrate International Women's Day at Forced To Flee to highlight the achievements of women and how far they have come, even though it should have never been the struggle it has been. We at Forced To Flee want to celebrate and honour the social, economic, political and cultural achievements of women this International Women's Day. Together our voices can be heard much louder and tell the world we stand as one united family, and together we celebrate each other and we will NOT stop until this world is safe, peaceful and loving place for everyone.
I am also very proud to announce the official release of my interview, on behalf of Forced To Flee, with UNHCR Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Ms Rossella Pagliuchi-Lor! A women that has dedicated her life to helping refugees and since worked her way up to be a UNHCR Ambassador! Watch the interview now by clicking on the "Forced To Flee X UNHCR UK" tab.
Happy International Women's Day

Facts to spark the fire to make a change:- Women make up 80% of all refugees and displaced people. Instruments of genocide such as sexual violence and rape are often directed at women and girls- Domestic violence is not yet considered a crime in 20 countries- At least 117 countries and territories still have no laws to protect girls from child marriage.- Girls who complete secondary school are 3x less likely to become child brides.- An extra year of education can help a girl earn 15-25% more as an adult.- Every 90 seconds, a woman dies during pregnancy or childbirth. Most of these deaths are preventable, but due to gender-based discrimination many women are not given the proper education or care they need |
