Stay fired up: Natasha Walter on power, protest and her mother's legacy

Natasha Walter is Founder Director of Women for Refugee Women, an influential charity providing support for refugee women seeking asylum in the UK. Natasha is a feminist, a human rights activist and an experienced journalist, with a double first from Cambridge University. She is an author of books, including The New Feminism, Living Dolls and the play Motherland. Natasha became a Founder Director 13 years ago, ‘almost by mistake’. She didn’t intend to set up a charity, but was driven to create social change by the powerful stories of the women refugees she met while working as a journalist. In this interview with Natasha you will hear about the steps she took to set up the charity, the learnings along the way, the vital support she has had from her Chair and colleagues, and the important mix of services, voice, media and campaigning that underpin Women for Refugee Women and Natasha’s leadership. She shares insightful views about her frustrations with charity communications, and the importance of sharing the authentic voices and stories of refugees and asylum-seekers. Since our interview Natasha has stepped down as Director to become Creative Projects Director, handing over the Director role to Alphonsine Kabagabo.Follow 'Women for Refugee Women' and Natasha:Twitter: @4refugeewomen @natasha_walterInstagram: @4refugeewomen Facebook: @WomenforRefugeeWomenAnd if you can please donate to Women for Refugee Women here.
