Refugee Week 2023
T-shirt with Yexley Yeah + Everpress
In 2023, we are faced with an unprecedented refugee crisis. Despite making up less than one-third of the global population, 43.3m children account for almost 40 percent of those affected by forced displacement.
​
This demands urgent attention and compassion.
​
That’s why, for World Refugee Day, we've launched a new t-shirt for our, Migrant Footprint initiative to highlight the plight of refugees, challenge misconceptions and support War Child’s vital work in conflict zones.
Everyone has a migrant footprint, designed by Yexley Yeah, is a proud acknowledgement for the majority who already know, and a friendly reminder to the minority who still haven’t got the memo. Empathetically opposed to the "go back to where you came from" rhetoric, it implies that refugees deserve a place where community, freedom, identity, self-expression is nurtured; as it is on our dancefloors. It speaks to the universality of migration and its irrefutable contribution to culture and society at large.
​
100% of profits from t-shirt sales – including an additional £1 for every purchase from Everpress – will be donated to War Child to support children and their families who have been forced to flee war and persecution.
