VOICES: Activists in Exile. Agents of Change.
VOICES supports activists in exile who are trying to make the home they left a better place. Those voices are important for the perspectives they offer and for the ideas they generate. Voices will provide platforms for those who would otherwise not be heard, in situations of violent conflict. Join us in the virtual launch of this initiative as we will learn more about it and listen to the voice of human rights activist Ali Mirzad.
