As the Trump administration looks to drastically downsize the U.S. refugee program, this conversation is more important than ever. What does the future hold for America? Under the Trump administration, can the U.S. remain a much-needed beacon of hope for female survivors of sexual violence worldwide? The panel showcased why a woman – regardless of where she is coming from, the color of her skin or her sexual orientationย – deserves equal protection under the law in her pursuit to seek safety in a new country.
InReach thanks the Refugee Alliance Network for its support and invitation to contribute to such a needed conversation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3700″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row]
