Meet Zakia Khudadadi.

Zakia fled conflict in her home country and now just won her first round of Para Taekwondo while representing the Refugee @‌Paralympics Team at #Paris2024! #CheerForRefugees

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

She lost her freedom in her homeland.
They told her this sport wasn’t for girls.
So, she decided to become a symbol of strength.
Now she’s competing at #Paris2024.

This is Zakia Khudadadi.
This is the Refugee @Paralympics Team.

As the @Olympics end, the @RefugeesOlympic Team has reasons to celebrate: @CindyNgamba bronze, Dominic Lobalu 4th, Ramiro Mora 7th, Yekta Jemali 9th. But competing at @Paris2024 was a triumph for the whole team - and a victory for resilience, inclusion and solidarity.
