THE IRAQI REFUGEE CRISIS
With speaker Zahra Sultan. Zahra is an Iraqi refugee who fled to Jordan in 2001 to escape Saddam Hussein's regime. Zahra has since become a social worker and advocate for the massively growing number of Iraqi refugees, as well as other refugees in Jordan. Since the US war and occupation in Iraq, there are now over 2 million external Iraqi refugees and another 2 million internally displaced Iraqis.

Zahra is also featured in Female Faces of War. Her blog is at www.zahrairaq.org

This event is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by SESAME (Students Educating Students About the Middle East) and the Women of Color Coalition.
