Beautiful women on the cover of a fashion magazine? Pretty standard. Beautiful women on the cover of a fashion magazine promoting a good cause? Now THIS IS BIG.

**Gigi Hadid** and **Halima Aden** are both cover girls for the September issue of **CR Fashion Book* (photographed by Pieter Hugo)* and LOOK: they're both wearing UNICEF tees! In fact, the entire issue is dedicated to raising awareness about the global refugee crisis and how everyone - supermodels, activists, you and me - can help change the world.

And **Carine Roitfeld** couldn't have picked better models for the cover. Both **Gigi** and **Halima** are UNICEF ambassadors and have their own stories to tell when it comes to refugees.

 *"I was born in a refugee camp in Kenya, it was a UN camp,"* explains **Halima** in a [video for CR Fashion Book](https://www.crfashionbook.com/celebrity/a22727171/cr-fashion-book-issue-13-gigi-hadid-halima-video-unicef/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io). *"So I remember seeing UNICEF. I remember seeing the staff."* **Halima** was 6-years-old when she moved to the US (and eventually started smashing goals as the first hijab-wearing model to sign on to a major modelling agency!)

Meanwhile, **Gigi** is the daughter of a refugee - her dad **Mohamed Hadid** writes he was *"only about 18 months old. After we were expelled from our beloved Palestine into the Syrian refugee camps."* It wasn't until Mohamed was a teenager that his family would make it to America.

**Gigi** and **Halima** have also started a crowd funding campaign to coincide with this special September cover. They're urging their MILLIONS of fans to help #childrenuprooted by ongoing conflicts and natural disasters.
