Join the Harvard Kennedy School’s Carr Center for Human Rights Policy for a conversation with refugee community leaders on economic justice and migration. Abid Shamdeen, co-founder of Nadia's Initiative, has spent the past five years managing projects that have brought aid and assistance to internally displaced Yazidis in Iraq. With her organization Rohingya Women's Development Network, co-founder Sharifah Shakirah works to change deeply entrenched cultural norms that subjugate women, believing gender equality is the key to lifting the Rohingya community.
This event is part of the Carr Center’s signature weekly series this fall, The Fierce Urgency of Now, featuring Black, Indigenous, People of Color scholars, activists, and community leaders, and experts from the Global South. The series is hosted and facilitated by Sushma Raman and Mathias Risse.
Panelists include:
Abid Shamdeen, Co-founder, Nadia's Initiative
Sharifah Shakirah, Co-founder, Rohingya Women's Development Network
