I am Sidiqa Faqihi, a refugee from Afghanistan who has been fortunate enough to arrive in the land of the Wurundjeri people after nearly a decade of living in uncertainty. Currently, I am working as a Project Officer for the Face-to-Face program at RCOA. Through this program, refugee ambassadors share their personal stories of their journeys to safety and give participants the unique opportunity to learn directly from refugees, gaining insight into their experiences and contributions to Australia.
Join me on Tuesday 7 March from 11am-12pm via Zoom to hear about my personal experience seeking protection, my work with RCOA’s Face to Face speaker program, and, as Refugee Welcome Zone councils, how you can support this work.
