#Statelessness is a serious condition that impacts approximately 10 million people #worldwide. Stateless individuals are often not recognized as citizens by any country, leaving them in a legal limbo. This lack of legal recognition means they are often denied the #right to #education, #healthcare, work, freedom of #movement, or participate in the #political process. Stateless individuals are particularly #vulnerable to #humanrights #abuses. To learn more about statelessness, read U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI)'s new snapshot written by Rachel R..

So… I did a talk last week with the African Refugee Immigrant Organization (ARIO) PDX and it was amazing. I enjoyed sharing about STD prevention with this community. Honestly, we don’t talk about this topic enough, especially within minority communities. If you know a group or two who could benefit from learning more about STD transmission and prevention be sure to reach out to me! #HealthIsWealth#KnowledgeIsPower#PreventativeMedicine#CommunityMedicine#FamilyMedicine#HealthTalks#CommunityWorkshops

Have you ever wondered what role you and your organisation can play in supporting refugees? Because my guess is, it's much bigger than you realise... - Two weeks ago, we saw violence spread across the UK as far-right extremists began targeting refugee and migrant communities. These people’s actions, wrongly framed as “patriotism”, are fuelled by years of media misinformation and a deep rooted anti-immigration rhetoric from government and leadership. But these divisions are human constructs. They stem from a lack of understanding and from a failure to see that, at our core, we are all people deserving of safety, dignity, and opportunity. Through Niya, I have the privilege of supporting refugees and migrants daily and among them, are some of the most inspiring people I’ve ever known. Despite enduring immense hardships, these people continue to show great kindness and resilience, eager to contribute to the society that has welcomed them. - So, if you've felt outraged or disheartened by the news lately, what can you actually do to help these communities feel safe, welcome and integrated? I've written a piece in The Conduit's Radical Realist to share my thoughts on the topic, zooming in on the "unseen journey of a refugee in the UK". I hope by sharing more stories like Vitalina’s, we can unite against hate, slowly shift the narrative and tackle these misconceptions for good.
