Meet Fadak: Australia's Inspiring Refugee Advocate
Fadak Alfayadh spent her childhood in Iraqa country that shifted from
one world to an entirely different, unliveable one seemingly overnight.
15 years ago Fadak sought refuge with her family in Australia, where
they received little support from the system but were welcomed by their
community in Dandenong, Victoria. Today, Fadak is paving the way for the
refugees who have arrived in her wake. Her Meet Fadak tours combat the
misperceptions that the Australian community holds about those seeking
asylum and the narratives we so often hear in mainstream media, while
her work as a community lawyer helps support and settle refugees so they
can have a more supportive experience than she and her family did.
