Quakers in Refugee Week

Friends mark Refugee Week despite Covid-19 restrictions

by Rebecca Hardy 26th June 2020

As the World Health Organisation highlighted refugees as ‘some of the world’s most vulnerable people’ in the face of a globally accelerating Covid-19 pandemic, Friends marked Refugee Week despite the restrictions. Quaker Asylum and Refugee Network (QARN) members took part in a busy programme of activities in Oxford from 15-22 June, including a screening of the film Feeding the Darkness, originally commissioned by Quaker Concern for the Abolition of Torture. The film was shown by the Oxford Freedom from Torture group.
