Listen to Refugee Voices in Real
Audio
Read Testimonials from Refugees
Refugee Voices, a program of Immigration and Refugee Services of America,
was established in 1987 with the idea that the best advocates for refugees
are refugees themselves. By allowing others to hear the first-hand testimonies
of refugees, not only are others better informed about the conditions
refugees endure, but refugees become empowered to contribute their own
voice to those of others working to end conflict and help all refugees
rebuild peaceful, stable lives.
