Description

Stand #WithRefugees, sign the petition today http://www.unhcr.org/refugeeday/petit... “My name is Irene Kpor, an Ivorian refugee. Since 2002 I’m here. This is my place, my training center. All of the things I passed through in Ivory Coast war, they raped me, but they couldn’t stop me to do one or two things in Liberia. I decided to re-open my training center in Liberia. Today I’m training more women, Liberia women, refugee women. And today they are able to take care of their family. Today, you see, life is hard, so what I’m trying to say to women is don’t be discouraged in life. I’m proud of myself and I’m proud of them too."
