It has been almost a year since the mass migration of refugees fleeing war and violence and seeking refuge in Europe made headline news. The dangers and risks for refugees as they seek a safe haven are numerous; however, none more so perhaps than for the number of women and children who, despite popular representations, are rarely discussed. On this panel, Cassie Adjei (Coventry Refugee and Migrant Centre), Nof Nasser Eddin and Nour Abu Assab (Directors of the Centre for Transnational Development and Collaboration), Vicki Squire (University of Warwick) and a speaker from Birmingham Asylum and Refugee Association will discuss the gendered nature of the refugee crisis and the particular challenges facing women.

This event is free and open to the public, but space is limited so please book your seat in advance
