Advocacy

In furtherance of its charitable objectives, RR strives to raise awareness on issues related to refugees and immigrants within the British landscape through work on policy and media. Because of our daily work with Syrian refugees, we serve as a critical source of information on the Syrian conflict for journalists and through our professional relationships with these journalists we work on the framework by which refugee crises, particularly in Syria, are discussed. RR also organises seminars and hosts academic conferences that draw in leading academics and community organisers for discussion and insight on often overlooked aspects of the Syrian conflict and other conflicts in the region.

Stop the War Event: 'Don't Bomb Syria'

Tuesday, 06/10/2015

RR attended an event for Stop the War titled 'Don't Bomb Syria' on 6 October. The event's discussion centred around UK policy around Syria and the group's strong view that the UK should not get involved at all. Unfortunately, none of the panel speakers were Syrian, and the Syrian voice was marginalised throughout the event.

Stop the War Panel on Syria without Syrian Speakers

Friday, 02/10/2015

Rethink Rebuild Society has had no response to an email it sent to Stop the War on 23 September requesting an opportunity to speak at its Manchester event on Syria on 6 October. The current panel features four speakers, none of whom are Syrian, thereby framing a discussion on Syria without input from the most important party to the issue - the Syrian people themselves.
