Learn about the crucial role of compassionate support, assistance networks, and practical options in empowering displaced women to build new, independent, dignified, and secure lives. Gain insights from speaker Raquel Herzog, founder of SAO Association for displaced women, as she shares her journey from a comfortable life in Switzerland to dedicating herself to making a difference in the lives of refugee women.
