AWC CELEBRATES WORLD REFUGEE DAY – 2025

“Solidarity With Refugees” 2025

 

On this World Refugee Day – June 21st 2025, Amani Women Center (AWC) stands in solidarity with refugees around the globe—and especially with the courageous women and families who have found a new beginning through our doors. This year’s theme, “Solidarity with Refugees.” speaks to the heart of our mission. At AWC, we see every day how strength rises from struggle. We serve women who have fled conflict, persecution, and unimaginable hardship—yet show unshakable resilience as they rebuild their lives. In our sewing rooms, classrooms, and support circles, we witness healing take shape and empowerment take root. World Refugee Day is not just a moment to recognize displacement—it is a call to affirm dignity, embrace diversity, and invest in possibility. Refugees are not defined by what they’ve lost, but by the hope they carry, the cultures they enrich, and the futures they are determined to shape. Today, we honor the stories of the women we serve—mothers, daughters, leaders, survivors—and we recommit to providing a safe, welcoming space where they can heal, thrive, and belong.

The event brought together community members, partners, local vendors and supporters for a day of cultural expression, and unity. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of creating spaces where refugee women can thrive, lead, and inspire.
