Addressing the Needs of Female Refugees

To commemorate World Refugee Day, the Wilson Center hosted a virtual conversation on the gendered impacts of forced displacement in the Middle East and North Africa on Jun 18. The event featured a keynote speech by Lindsay Jenkins, senior adviser in the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration at the State Department. It was then followed by a panel discussion featuring Yara Asi, assistant professor at the University of Central Florida; Lina Sergie Attar, founder and CEO of the Karam Foundation; Reva Dhingra, policy and planning adviser at the International Rescue Committee; and Sola Mahfouz, global fellow at the Wilson Center and co-author of Defiant Dreams.
