Beyond Labels is a booklet featuring the stories of Angie, Yassin, Olena, and Wilikon – people who, despite immense challenges, have found inspiring ways to rebuild their lives.

At JRS, we believe that every person deserves to be seen for who they are: a unique individual with a story, a future, and immense potential. Yet, all too often, refugees and internally displaced people are reduced to mere labels—stripped of their identity and reduced to statistics.

Together, we can break the barriers of labels and create a world where everyone is seen for who they truly are.
