The pride on the faces of Leena Al-Mujahed and Hasfa Khanom was unmistakable as they shared about the upcoming ERW (Empowering Refugee Women) Expo 2023, an event organised solely by refugee women to showcase, among others, their work in Malaysia.

Themed “Breaking Barriers and Building Futures: Showcasing the work of a consortium of eight refugee women-led groups in Kuala Lumpur”, the expo is part of the “Refugee Women and Girls – Key to the Global Compact on Refugees” project led the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia.
