Nicolle came across the work of
RESPECT International through the web platform iEARN

Liberian Refugee Women Say Integration Is Not An Option
by O'Burphy Richlue
Women residents of the Buduburam Refugee Settlement have been
boycotting normal activities to announce their dissatisfaction
over plans to reintegrate Liberian refugees into the Ghanaian
society.
The peaceful demonstration is characterized by group gathering
at the entrance of the camp in a field under the scorching sun at
day and sleeping in the dews at night, fasting and praying and
boycotting even the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNCHR)/World Food
Programme (WFP) ration distribution of maize and oil.
