Challenging Stereotypes and Shifting the Refugee Narrative | Panel Discussion

Refugees often suffer human rights violations and discrimination due to unfair negative stereotypes.
Rez Gardi, Co-Managing Director of Refugees Seat and international human rights lawyer, and Zoya El Miari, Founder of Waves to Home, are using their platforms to elevate the voices of refugees and challenge the damaging stereotypes surrounding them.
“We are not some statistics portrayed on the screen at conferences. We are actual human beings.”
In this discussion from the One Young World Summit Belfast, Rez and Zoya discuss the power of storytelling, the importance of having refugees in decision-making positions, and why we need to shift the narrative on refugees, with Actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador Kat Graham.
