As part of the “Pippi of Today” project, Atina and Save the Children Sweden joined forces to showcase the stories of “Girls on the Move”. Katya, a member of Atina’s refugee-led advocacy group, shares her poignant journey of seeking refuge in Serbia after fleeing Burundi.

This short documentary highlights her experiences, emphasising how access to education has been instrumental in her integration into Serbian society.

Short video documentaries like this are powerful tools for promoting migrant rights as they present personal narratives that humanise the experiences of migrant women, fostering empathy and understanding.

By highlighting individual journeys, they raise awareness of the challenges they faced by migrants in accessing resources and integration.

Their emotional impact engages viewers and motivates action, while their accessible format allows for easy sharing on social media, reaching a wider audience.
