Strong Women, Inspiring Stories

As International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day fell on the same weekend this year we took the opportunity to share with you two stories of incredible women. Both Karlie and Khadija are on the WERS advisory panel but their journeys to get here couldn’t have been more different.

Karlie is a doctoral student at Newcastle University, a member of WERS advisory panel and a refugee woman. Her story is one of bravery, determination, and hope. Here she tells her story.

Khadija is a doctor, a mother, a member of WERS advisory panel and a refugee woman. Khadija had to take the heart-breaking decision to flee from her home country for the safety of herself and her son. Her journey is one of resilience, strength and a mothers love. Here she tells her story.
