Miami Regionals Presents Women’s Journeys, Women’s - Cincinnati Event
March 06, 2017 - Middletown
At the present time there
over 16 million refugees worldwide registered with the United Nations.
The United States will welcome nearly 50,000 refugees this year, and in 2016
over 4,000 refugees were resettled in Ohio. While refugees are among us, in
many cases they may be invisible and their voices not heard. This program
offers the opportunity for us to hear the voices of women refugees living in
Southwest Ohio. Invitations have been made to refugees from a variety of
areas including Bhutan, Burundi, Myanmar, Iraq and Syria. By hearing
refugee voices Southwest Ohio moves closer to becoming a welcoming community
for refugees. This event is open to the wider community.
Sponsored by the Miami University Regionals, the National Underground Railroad
and Freedom Center, the Office of the Regional Director of Diversity and
Multicultural Services, the Humanities Center, the Office of the Regional
Associate Dean of Student and Academic Success, the Refugee Action Committee,
and the Refugee Advisory Council. For more information please contact
