Resilience in Exile – Stories of Refugee Women in Senegal and the Gambia

[UNHCR] In Senegal and The Gambia, stories of resilience, determination, and hope unfold every day. Women who once had stable lives were forced to flee their homes due to conflict, instability, and persecution. Yet, in the face of adversity, they have rebuilt their lives, time and time again. This is the story of Jeanne Francoisse Dam, Sophie Lokuly Ikae, Adama Jarjue, Fatou Badjie, and Fatim Tchagole–women who refused to let displacement define them.
