Solidarity with Refugees, what does it truly mean and How should it be displayed? Solidarity refers to unity: unity of interest unity of responsibility and an outreach of empathy.

“It’s not just about giving aid, but creating platforms where refugees can be heard….. and understood” - Nirah Ismail, Resilience Action International

Solidarity goes beyond being provided with just necessities. Giving aid without listening to the voice of the refugee population breaches the ‘solidarity with refugees’ statement that is spoken of. How can unity be formed when interests are unknown, how can empathy be felt when the stories are unheard.

Refugee children and families fleeing conflict need safe spaces to learn and grow, UNICEF plays a major role in this fulfilment along side external sponsorships and refugees themselves.

The theme for 2025 is “Solidarity with Refugees,” with the focus being what solidarity really means, not just in words but action. At T-SHA films we have displayed solidarity within our teachings, our collaboration with other (Refugee Led Organisations) and , as well as our film productions.

Together, we can defend our safety and advocate for solutions to our predicament.
