In a world where so many people feel invisible and powerless, it is hard to imagine that there is a network of individuals who will raise you up & illuminate your presence. @womeninclassics are doing that extraordinary work of doing just that for women & non-binary people.

“Enver Solomon, the chief executive of the Refugee Council, says the Rwanda policy is the most extreme embodiment of the hostile environment policies that caused the Windrush scandal…”It is playing politics in a way that will ultimately have a very detrimental impact on the lives of people who come here as refugees, seeking asylum and seeking safety.”

“Of all the countries with the most appalling human rights records, Eritrea is probably the least known internationally.

Even folks who don’t have anything to do with foreign affairs are generally aware of North Korea’s horrors and Saudi Arabia’s long list of abuses.

Eritrea’s? Not so much.

However, once you learn about this country in the Horn of Africa, you’ll never forget.”

3 years ago I shared my story from ‘refugee to PhD’. Let’s stop dehumanising #refugees and celebrate the contributions they can make to a healthy and diverse society. People don’t flee their homes because they want to. #WorldRefugeeDay #WithRefugees

“British higher education is like the Titanic after it had hit the iceberg. It is fatally flawed below the waterline, but it is still floating, and many passengers have difficulty believing that it will go under. Yet the water is pouring in and rising…During the next parliament, the lights will go out and the ship’s keel will break.”

“a Pandora’s box of evil has opened in Sudan. Vulturous world powers are colluding on its death to scavenge the gold from its bones, using sadistic mercenaries who kill and steal with impunity and grow in power, setting precedents that will only spread to lands beyond ours. Sudan may have been a birthplace of civilisation, but it could quickly become its cemetery.”
