Zahra and Her Family Have Visas. Help Them Reach Safety.
We are fundraising to help Afghan women’s rights activist, entrepreneur, and artist Zahra Kazemi and her family reach safety in France. Although they have finally received humanitarian visas, they need support to cover exit permits in Pakistan and flight tickets. Every contribution brings them one step closer to safety and a new beginning.
witnessing change
witnessing change draws inspiration from the sense of solidarity between places and communities, as well as from the power of creativity to activate and bring people together.The initiative aims to offer personal enrichment through community-building activities for local residents, strengthening awareness of their surroundings through color, urban artistic interventions, and networking. This fosters both personal and societal transformation—shifting perspectives, building new connections, enhancing diversity, and ultimately reducing loneliness through social cohesion in the neighborhood and beyond.
EASA:Together
EASA:Together is a joint action of NGOs from Portugal, Germany and Spain and experts around the globe to explore opportunities for collective sponsorship for persons with refugee experience in the European Union. At the same time it serves as a network between private receiving entities that aim to develop unified structures along the process of welcoming persons with refugee experience in the civil society with support of governmental structures. EASA:Together corresponds to our belief that practical solidarity between communities is the only key to more humane sustainable futures and this is easier to achieve, without any doubt, together. It is emphasized that the initiative is designed to complement and not to replace the states’ obligation to provide international protection.
