About Little Amal:
Little Amal is the 12 foot puppet of a 10 year old Syrian refugee child at the heart of The Walk. ( https://walkwithamal.org) She has become a global symbol of human rights, especially those of refugees.
Since July 2021, Amal has travelled over 9,000km to 97 towns and cities in 15 countries and been welcomed by more than a million people on the street, including hundreds of artists and civil society and faith leaders, as well as by tens of millions online. Her journeys are festivals of art and hope that draw attention to the huge numbers of children fleeing war, violence and persecution, each with their own story. Her urgent message to the world is “Don’t forget about us”.
