“We work to identify the best match between employment and skills, but also … the big gaps in the labour market and … how we can enable that next generation of #refugee women to be empowered and resilient.”
Ghadah Alnasseri, Hibiscus Initiatives:
“I strongly urge everyone to work with the UK government to find solutions around #housing to ensure that individuals experience a humane and secure transition.”
Sheyda O’Rang, Pan Intercultural Arts:
“It will take just a few women like myself to build groups and organisations and empower other people—empower other women. That’s the most important thing.”
Veronica Rossini, Tent Partnership for Refugees:
“To step up for #Refugee women, think about … mentorship programmes and being mindful about the ways that you can be directly hiring refugee women into your workforce.”
Graham Macmillan, Visa:
“We have to think about the longer term recovery (of refugees), and in many ways that’s the conversation that … some of our investment partners, through our impact investing activity, are really helping to solve for.”
Graham Macmillan, Visa:
“What are the skills necessary to ensure that … [refugees] have an opportunity to be economically mobile, that they can aspire to something more than what they’ve been confronted with?”
Dale Buscher, Women’s Refugee Comission:
“The scale of the problem … has gotten so grand that we really need all of us to come to the table. We all have a role to play, because no one sector can solve this problem independently.”
