“As much as a refugee longs for that new first sip of hot coffee, that new first shower in a real one, that new first time in a warm bed for the night, and many more new first times… These new first times can take many days, months, and even years to arrive, however, It´s important to celebrate those new first times that make a difference in the refugee life” We asked some refugee leaders, When you became a refugee what were the first times you remember the most? #togetherwithoutflags #WorldRefugeeDay #worldrefugeeday2024 #RefugeLeadership #refugeesupport #refugees

Refugee camps are meant to be temporary shelters, but for millions, they become long-term homes. Discover the reality of life in the world's largest refugee camps, where overcrowding, limited resources, and resilience define daily existence. Dive into the untold stories behind these crucial, yet often overlooked, havens. https://lnkd.in/dahVszVj #LargestRefugessCamps #RefugeeCamps #Refugees #Shelter

Very interesting to understand a bit about how refugee camps are set up and run over time. Private space, public space, communal living, economics, and placemaking.

Yesterday was World Refugee Day. As we continue to reflect beyond the day, Lavinia Latham's recent blog post provides 16 easy and meaningful ways you can help support refugees in their new lives. #WorldRefugeeDay #inclusionmatters #inclusiveworkplace https://lnkd.in/gaiu6nTp

I had an opportunity last week for World Refugee Day to interview with BBC News around family Reunification. As someone who has experienced family separation, I know all too well what that is like. How many more years will refugee families have to wait to be together again? Some may never see their loved ones again. We need the Administration to: -Alleviate the existing backlogs of individual cases, so families can quickly be reunited. -Expand the Parole Porgram to be global. -Scale up and invest in community sponsorship. -And reverse course on the recent Exective Order (212F) on people seeking asylum - as it is creating more family separation. It is a valid and legal pathway for people to seek asylum. Resettlement and Asylum save lives & we need to continue to expand it.

In the midst of ongoing refugee crises, it's crucial to acknowledge the various factors contributing to their displacement. While financial concerns are a factor, many refugees flee their homes due to life-threatening situations like family separation, conflict, and hazardous living conditions. It's important to approach discussions on this topic with empathy and a deeper understanding of the complexities involved. #RefugeeCrisis #GlobalPerspective #journeyhomecommunity

On World Refugee Day it is worth remembering that no one wants to be a refugee. More people have been forced to flee their homes due to violent conflict and mass atrocities than ever before. The only solution to the global displacement crisis is ending these violent conflicts and preventing new ones from emerging. In the meantime, we must recognize that people who flee their homes today may not return for two or more decades, if ever. We can't keep treating protracted displacement with temporary solutions. Long-term responses are needed with a clear path toward integration and programs that will benefit both refugee and host communities. #Refugees #WorldRefugeeDay
