Behind the Headlines: Afghanistan

 Dear Jean-Francois, 


The fall of Kabul and the subsequent crisis shocked the world and shone a light on the situation facing refugees arriving in the UK. Nearly three months on, Breaking Barriers and UK for UNHCR are pleased to invite you to an exclusive briefing on the situation today and the role that business and individuals can play in supporting displaced people and refugees. 

Date: Tuesday 9th November
Time: 09:00am - 10:00am
Venue: Online (Zoom, link below)

Hosted by global migration expert Julia Onslow-Cole, Partner at global immigration specialist law firm Fragomen and Breaking Barriers Trustee, the panel will include:
  • Rossella Pagliuchi-Lor, UNHCR's Representative to the UK
  • Matthew Powell, CEO and Founder of Breaking Barriers
  • Emma Cherniavsky, CEO of UK for UNHCR
  • Zahida, a client of Breaking Barriers from Afghanistan
  • Yindi Gesinde, Partner at global law firm, Baker McKenzie
We would be delighted if you could join us to explore how businesses and individuals can turn compassion into action, understand more about what it's like to arrive in the UK as a refugee, and hear how a global law firm has already taken action to mobilise their support. 

We hope to see you there. 

Best wishes, 
Andrew
