Students Standing Up for Each Other!
Be the Voice of international students!
Your support means everything to me. Encouraged by the overwhelming love I've received, I've initiated VOIS - ‘Voice of International Students’. After hearing numerous accounts of labor abuse from peers, I'm determined to shed light on the realities faced by international students. Visit the site for incident details, ways to support, and to share your own experiences.
What is VOIS?
VOIS (Voice of International Students) isn't just a platform for seeking support; it's an initiative aimed at providing international students with a safe space to share their experiences and seek help from peers who understand. Within VOIS, students can support each other and speak up for those facing challenges without direction. I embarked on this initiative feeling isolated, but the overwhelming support I received showed me the potential to build a community and advocate for others.
‘even in your darkest moments, you can still choose to be someone's light.’

It was a single facebook post that sparked it all!
How can you support?
you can sign an online form!
You can participate in an online protest by filling out a form demanding fair treatment and protection for international students in Germany. Recent instances of exploitation underscore the pressing need for enhanced safeguards against unfair practices. By signing this form, you're showing solidarity not only with me but also with other international students, advocating for their rights. You can sign the form effortlessly by scanning the QR code or clicking the link icon.
Or you can join me in a peaceful protest.
Forthcoming: Protest Arrives Next Friday
You can demonstrate your support by physically joining my peaceful protest outside the restaurant where I was scammed. The protest is legal, authorized by the judiciary, so there's no need to worry. It will only take 15-20 minutes but can make a significant impact as it draws attention. The protest will be held in front of "Yogi-Haus" Lichterfelde, Lankwitzer Str. 5, 12209 Berlin.
You can even share your story.
Share your experience if you’ve ever faced unfair treatment while working as a student. Write, submit video, or voice recording. I'll share your stories on my socials to raise awareness, especially for those from other countries. Share how you coped, what would make you feel secure, what you wish you knew, and advice for others in similar situations.
