    1 in 110 has left behind friends. 1 in 110 has made the decision of whether they had time to grab photo albums. 1 in 110 has had their world turned upside-down. 1 in 110 has faced the unthinkable. 1 in 110 has been forced to flee their home.

    When humanity’s values are abandoned, we all are at greater risk. We need to stand up for our rights and those of others.
