Inspiring Woman of
the Month

Yusra Mardini
Born 5th March 1998, Damascus, Syria

Former Olympic Swimmer
and refugee o
f the Syrian war,
UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador

Yusra fled conflict in Syria when she was just a teenager and made the treacherous sea journey to Europe with her sister, Sara.  The engine on their boat stopped working mid-crossing and the sisters and two others jumped into the water and, for several hours guided the dingy to safety, saving the lives of everyone onboard. 

After finding refuge in Germany, Yusra was selected to compete at Rio 2016 as part of the first ever Refugee Olympic Team. Yusra competed once again for the Refugee Olympic Team at Tokyo 2020.

Yusra was appointed the youngest ever Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency, aged just 19. She advocates for refugees globally through sharing her own inspiring story and has become a powerful voice for the forcibly displaced across the world.

"I want to represent all the refugees because

I want to show everyone that after the pain and after the storm comes

calm days."

- Yusra Mardini
