The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres has praised Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi for her help and support to refugees throughout the world.
Sheikha Jawaher, the wife of Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, is the UNHCR Eminent Advocate for Refugee Children and Chairperson of The Big Heart Foundation.
“As UNHCR Eminent Advocate for Refugee Children, Sheikha Jawaher has launched many initiatives to rally support and raise awareness about the issues of thousands of refugees scattered across the world. Her efforts have made a tremendous difference, and more importantly, her ability to inspire others to give more and exert extra effort has contributed to our efforts,” said Mr Guterres. “It is a great honour for me to recognise her momentous contributions to supporting refugees and displaced people.”
The High Commissioner stressed that the Big Heart Foundation led one of the most important and successful campaigns dedicated to refugee children on the global level.
Mr Guterres presented the UNHCR Advocacy Award to Sheikha Jawaher in recognition and appreciation of her efforts to alleviate the suffering of families and children affected by wars and conflicts, and her eagerness to launch initiatives to raise awareness about refugee issues and secure the financial resources needed to provide humanitarian aid worldwide.
The High Commissioner asked Sheikha Jawaher to continue in her post as UNHCR Eminent Advocate for Refugee Children and to carry on leading the way in advocacy and support for refugees caught up in the MENA humanitarian crisis.
Sheikha Jawaher expressed her appreciation and reiterated that she would always remain a supporter and advocate for the issues of refugee children and people in need across the world, and noted that the mission has not yet reached completion; that what has been achieved is but a fragment compared to the magnitude of the prolonged ordeal of refugees worldwide.
