In light of Russia's attack on Ukraine, Tania & Adriana discuss the impacts war has on citizens. Ukraine is gaining a lot of international attention, and while we are glad the media and governments are responding to this attack, we can't help but question why this situation is receiving such rapid responses. Refugees in other countries, including Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan, have also needed international help for years, and have yet to receive the same amount of aid as Ukrainians did in a matter of days. By addressing these unfair international policies, and by advocating for all people forced to flee their homes, we hope to spread compassion and understanding.
