A4 (1/2) Major sporting events like the Olympics people together and promote equality, peace and harmony among the people of different countries. They provide an opportunity to educate young people about the positive impact sport can have on the world. #SportAndRefugees https://t.co/QDI3BzywM8

A3 (2/2) Being a runner has taught me that refugee women and girls can and should be able to aspire to more. #SportAndRefugees

A3 (1/2) Sport can be fantastic for refugee women girls. It brings hope and excitement as well as competition. I will never forget the feeling of walking out in Rio as the flagbearer for @refugeesolympic in 2016. #SportAndRefugees https://t.co/67qpuhlMkF

A2 (2/2) In many communities girls need the be encouraged to play and we need to work to break down the barriers that prevent that – like where I grew up. #SportAndRefugees

A2 (1/2) We need to inspire others by our actions to show refugee girls that they should also be able to take part in sport. Refugee girls should have the same opportunities as boys and also people in their local communities. #SportAndRefugees https://t.co/GwZ44u772p

Later when I became a runner, I felt empowered to represent refugees but also refugee women and girls. #SportAndRefugees

A1 (2/2) We did not have female role models and I wanted to play football but my father was against it. Eventually I was able to play as goalkeeper in a team that was able to compete inside and outside the camps. It was so fantastic. #SportAndRefugees

A1 (1/2) When I was growing up in Kakuma refugee camp, girls were not supposed to play sport. We were supposed to stay at home and look after the men and boys then marry when were 15. School and sport was for the boys. #SportAndRefugees https://t.co/iPGP69oA7c
