“Let us not forget that every gesture counts. A good intention followed by an action can change the world.”
Maimouna Ba is the regional @refugees Nansen Award winner and founded the organisation “Femmes pour la dignité du Sahel (FDS)” to support displaced women and children in the Sahel area. Since the outbreak of conflict in 2016, she has been working to combat gender-based violence, rebuild peace and promote female leadership. Her incredible work has impacted the lives of more than 500 women and children in the Sahel region 🧑🤝🧑
The IKEA Foundation is proud to support the UNHCR #NansenAward because we believe that unsung heroes who go above and beyond to protect, support and advance the living conditions of forcibly displaced people need to be heard and supported.
Protecting and advancing #HumanRights happens on all levels. Discover more inspiring stories from the Nansen Award winners via the link in our bio!
