Women Working with Refugees in Calais

Additional Information

During a visit to the warehouse in Calais that distributes clothing and equipment as well as preparing food for refugees, we were struck by the number of women working there.   In this interview Linda Ness asks why people go to Calais to help the refugees and what they do to support them.  

The piece gives an interesting insight into the situation of the refugees in Calais (summer 2018).
