Why the refugee crisis is an international feminist issue

Capitalist Destruction, COVID-19 and Reproductive Justice: Why the refugee crisis is an international feminist issue

In 2018, 68.5 million people left their homelands to escape war, persecution or devastating droughts and floods. This was the largest displacement since World War II, and their numbers keep rising. Half the world’s refugees are women and children.

Radical Women is hosting an online forum to learn about and discuss this crisis as a feminist struggle. Come along to hear how women and girls are shouldering the weight of the worsening global emergency — forced with their families and communities onto perilous journeys to unknown destinations and uncertain futures. Bring your ideas about the kind of movement needed for real solutions to this growing horror.

Hear grassroots refugee rights activists:

• Maudie Osborne is a filmmaker and producer of "Hayat," which documents the household dynamics of an Eritrean single mother and her family living in Melbourne

• Samira Saadeldin works with refugee and immigrant communities in building educational resources and accessing services

• Debbie Brennan is a long-time frontline fighter for reproductive justice and Organiser for Radical Women

All genders are welcome!
