Hunters Hill Parish Social Justice Group, together with Jesuit Refugee Service Australia, invites you to an information evening promoting awareness as part of Refugee Week 2021.
The theme for refugee week is Unity and we are delighted to welcome our guest speaker, Magdalene, from Sierra Leone who will share with us her lived experience seeking asylum.
Magdalene, a sports journalist, came to Australia seeking asylum in 2018 after facing danger and death threats because of her activism against female oppression in her home country of Sierra Leone. In Australia, Magdalene continues to use her journalism skills and passion to advocate for the rights of her community.
Please join us for a light supper and an evening of information, Q&A and reflection.
