CARAD was privileged to be invited to speak at last week's Human Rights Day event hosted by the United Nations Association of Australia (WA) and Amnesty International UWA.
Our colleague Ehsan Nazamyar generously shared his personal journey - from his early life in Afghanistan, through conflict and displacement, to finding a new beginning in Australia. It was a meaningful opportunity to speak openly about the experiences that drive our work and the profound fulfilment that comes from supporting CARAD clients seeking asylum in WA.
We were grateful to share the panel with Dr. Barbara Nattabi, Dr Fiona McGaughey, Gracia Mukiibi and our own Catherine Green, CARAD's Deputy Chairperson. The conversations highlighted the crucial role that empathy and understanding play in building inclusive communities here in WA.
Thank you to the organisers, volunteers, and everyone who attended - CARAD is grateful to have been part of such an important evening.
