Every year on June 20th, the world marks World Refugee Day, a day to recognize the strength and resilience of millions who have been forced to flee their homes. In 2025, the global theme is “Solidarity with Refugees.” But for us at Sebineza, solidarity is not a moment. It’s our mission, every single day.
When we speak of refugee women, we see more than statistics or passing headlines. We see mothers. We see life-givers. We see strength wrapped in silence, courage hidden in discomfort, and hope clinging to the uncertain. In refugee settlements, in temporary shelters, and along long, exhausting journeys, women continue to carry life, even when the world forgets to carry them.
Sebineza Care Organization was born from this gap, the need for dignity, support, and safety during pregnancy. Our vision is clear: a world where every refugee woman experiences care, respect, and opportunity during and beyond pregnancy. This is not charity. This is right.
We don’t just speak up, we act. We reach out to women who feel unseen. We provide assisted referrals for healthcare, spread maternal health awareness, and create spaces where refugee women can access information, support, and each other.
Solidarity, to us, means walking beside a woman when the system has turned its back. It means showing up not only when the world is watching, but especially when no one is. It means listening to the stories that never make the news and treating them with the weight they deserve.
Our work is far from done. But this Refugee Day, we choose to hold onto hope. We choose to stand firm in our vision. Because we believe that dignity is possible. That safe pregnancies in refugee communities are possible. That change is possible if we remain committed.
And so, on this day, we invite you not just to remember refugee mothers, but to stand with them. To see them. To support the organizations that center them. And to believe in a world where their well-being is not a dream, but a reality.
From everyone at Sebineza Care Organization, Happy Refugee Day 2025. We’re still standing and we’re not done yet.
