Ms Camila Ríos Armas

Camila Ríos Armas was born in Caracas, Venezuela. After pursuing a career in political communications in Venezuela and completing her master’s in international development at Sciences Po Paris, she got involved with multiple volunteer missions in refugee camps where she witnessed injustices that inspired her to act. As a result, Camila founded the non-profit organisation UniR Universités & Réfugié.e.s in 2018, with the goal to fight against the professional downgrading of refugees and to promote access to higher education for all. Today, she remains the director of the organisation and is also head of the Pole Americas with the Observatory for refugee camps in Paris.
