Have you ever wondered what role you and your organisation can play in supporting refugees? Because my guess is, it's much bigger than you realise... - Two weeks ago, we saw violence spread across the UK as far-right extremists began targeting refugee and migrant communities. These people’s actions, wrongly framed as “patriotism”, are fuelled by years of media misinformation and a deep rooted anti-immigration rhetoric from government and leadership. But these divisions are human constructs. They stem from a lack of understanding and from a failure to see that, at our core, we are all people deserving of safety, dignity, and opportunity. Through Niya, I have the privilege of supporting refugees and migrants daily and among them, are some of the most inspiring people I’ve ever known. Despite enduring immense hardships, these people continue to show great kindness and resilience, eager to contribute to the society that has welcomed them. - So, if you've felt outraged or disheartened by the news lately, what can you actually do to help these communities feel safe, welcome and integrated? I've written a piece in The Conduit's Radical Realist to share my thoughts on the topic, zooming in on the "unseen journey of a refugee in the UK". I hope by sharing more stories like Vitalina’s, we can unite against hate, slowly shift the narrative and tackle these misconceptions for good.

This year there are 37 athletes on the Olympic Refugee team, the most there’s ever been! Set up by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the nonprofit behind the Games, this team represents the 100+ million displaced people around the world 🌍 Many of these athletes have stepped out to say it’s about more than just making it to the Olympics in Paris, but about using their platform as a refugee athlete to break down stereotypes and challenge misconceptions about refugees. The hardships these athletes have overcome to reach where they are today is an incredible feat, so keep your eye out for these names as they compete across 12 different sports over the next 2 weeks! 👏 Adnan Khankan, judo 🥋 Alaa Maso, swimming 🏊♂️ Amir Ansari, cycling 🚴♀️ Amir Rezanejad Hassanjani, canoe slalom 🛶 Arab Sibghatullah, judo 🥋 Cindy Ngamba, boxing 🥊 Dina Pouryones Langeroudi, taekwondo 🥋 Dorian Keletela, athletics (track and field) 🏃 Dorsa Yavarivafa, badminton 🏸 Eyeru Gebru, cycling 🚴♀️ Farida Abaroge, athletics 🏃 Farzad Mansouri, taekwondo 🥋 Fernando Dayan Jorge Enriquez, canoe sprint 🛶 Francisco Edilio Centeno Nieves, shooting 🎯 Hadi Tiranvalipour, taekwondo 🥋 Iman Mahdavi, wrestling 🤼 Jamal Abdelmaji, athletics 🏃 Jamal Valizadeh, Greco-Roman wrestling 🤼 Kasra Mehdipournejad, taekwondo 🥋 Luna Solomon, shooting 🎯 Mahboubeh Barbari Yharfi, judo 🥋 Manizha Talash, breaking 🕺 Matin Balsini, swimming 🏊♂️ Mohammad Amin Alsalami, athletics 🏃  Mohammad Rashnonezhad, judo 🥋 Muna Dahouk, judo 🥋 Musa Suliman, athletics 🏃 Nigara Shaheen, judo 🥋 Omid Ahmadisafa, boxing 🥊 Perina Lokure Nakang, athletics 🏃 Ramiro Mora, weightlifting 🏋️♀️ Saeid Fazloula, canoe sprint 🛶 Saman Soltani, canoe sprint 🛶 Tachlowini Gabriyesos, athletics 🏃 Yahya Al Ghotany, taekwondo 🥋 Yekta Jamali Galeh, weightlifting 🏋️♀️ #olympics #paris2024 #refugeenation #refugeeteam #inspiration
