The world knows Iman as a supermodel, a successful businesswoman with her own cosmetics company and as a fashion icon alongside her husband David Bowie. Iman is also a refugee and a strong spokesman for human rights. In this exclusive interview, Iman shares her incredible story of fleeing war in Somalia, being discovered by a fashion photographer while living in Kenya, and finding global fame.

"Iman has been a fierce advocate for the rights of women and children in Africa and around the world. Her own experience as a refugee and a mother has deepened her commitment to contributing to a world where violence against women and girls is one day a thing of the past," said Prendergast. Enough is a project to end genocide and crimes against humanity at the Center for American Progress.

Enough is a project of the Center for American Progress to end genocide and crimes against humanity. Founded in 2007, Enough focuses on crises in Sudan, eastern Congo, and the areas of East Africa affected by the Lord's Resistance Army. Enough's strategy papers and briefings provide sharp field analysis and targeted policy recommendations based on a "3P" crisis response strategy: promoting durable peace, providing civilian protection, and punishing perpetrators of atrocities. Enough works with concerned citizens, advocates, and policy makers to prevent, mitigate, and resolve these crises. To learn more about Enough and what you can do to help, visit www.enoughproject.org. RAISE Hope for Congo is an Enough Project campaign to protect and empower Congo's women.
