- Muzoon fled the conflict in Syria along with her family in 2013, living as refugee for three years in Jordan before being resettled in the United Kingdom. It was during her 18 months in the Za’atari camp that she began advocating for children’s access to education, particularly for girls.
- Notably, nearly 50 million children have been uprooted across the globe– 28 million of them driven from their homes by conflicts not of their making, and millions more migrating in the hope of finding a better, safer life.
