In Africa alone, there are over 36.5 million displaced individuals, making it one of the most affected regions globally. These numbers reflect not just statistics but real lives disrupted, families torn apart, and dreams deferred. In honor of #WorldRefugeeDay, we invite you to join us in raising awareness and supporting our fellow human beings. Watch this moving short film - We Were Here - an original documentary series from YouTube and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. This episode features permaculture expert, teacher, and Congolese refugee Bemeriki, currently living in the Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement in Uganda. #Solidarity #RefugeeSupport #AfricanRefugees #HumanRights (see comment section for link)

🌍 Understanding the Refugee Crisis In today’s world, refugees represent some of the most vulnerable populations, often fleeing their home countries due to persecution, war, or violence. They carry a well-founded fear of persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The rise of conflicts and violence—whether ethnic, tribal, or religious—forces many individuals to seek safety and a chance for a better future elsewhere. 🕊️ It’s imperative that we advocate for awareness and compassion towards refugees. By supporting initiatives that assist displaced individuals, we can play a crucial role in their journeys toward safety and stability. Together, let’s work towards creating a world where everyone has the opportunity to live free from fear. ✊ #AndanFoundation #TheAndanFoundation #MohamedNasheed #Refugees #SupportRefugees

#WorldRefugeeDay, we must turn our attention to a deeply entrenched and often overlooked issue: the plight of Palestinian refugees. This is not just a historical issue but a present-day crisis that affects millions, including the children who inherit a legacy of displacement and statelessness. Palestinians represent the largest stateless demographic and have faced the longest-standing situation of forced displacement globally. This unique status under international law, different from other refugee groups, complicates their path to a durable solution. Palestinian refugees, unlike others, can pass their status to descendants, perpetuating the cycle of displacement and statelessness. Approximately 6 million Palestinian refugees reside in the Middle East, with Lebanon hosting a significant number. Palestinian children and youth face severe restrictions on their rights and opportunities. Denied citizenship, they cannot own property or pursue many professions, leading to poverty and a reliance on the UNRWA for essential services. Educational resources are strained, and refugee camps are overcrowded and underfunded, exacerbating the challenges these children face daily. In #Gaza, the situation is particularly dire. Recent conflicts have heightened the already severe humanitarian crisis, with many children experiencing multiple displacements, severe injuries, and loss of family members. The blockade has restricted access to essential supplies, leading to malnutrition and the spread of infectious diseases. The trauma inflicted on these young lives is profound, with many suffering from chronic traumatic stress disorder. My experience in #youthempowerment and #advocacy has shown me the power of inclusive policy design and participatory action. 1. Advocate for the Right of Return and Compensation by enforcement of Resolution 194. 2. Strengthen Support for UNRWA. 3. Promote Inclusive Policies in Host Countries: In Lebanon and other host countries, we must push for policies granting This includes access to education, healthcare, and employment without discrimination. By empowering refugees, we can foster social stability and economic growth. 4. Empower Palestinian Youth: We must invest in educational and vocational training programs for Palestinian youth, enabling them to build better futures for themselves and their communities. On this World Refugee Day, let us remember the Palestinian children and families who continue to live in limbo, their lives marked by displacement and uncertainty. We must advocate for their rights and work towards a future where they can live with dignity and security. By harnessing the power of community development, inclusive policy design, and international advocacy, we can make meaningful strides towards justice and peace for Palestinian refugees.

#Collaboration ▶ It's so good to exchange ideas with partners who have the same goal. ▶ We want a world in which people are not forced to leave their homes because war, violence and lack of protection force them to do so. ▶ Nobody is a refugee by choice! ▶ UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's National Partners in Europe met in Stockholm to exchange ideas and talk with #UNHCR colleagues about how to mobilize even more direct support from civil societies for UNHCR. ▶ Together we stand #withrefugees

💡 What is #family reunification, and why is it so important? Family unity is a universal right. When forced to flee their home country, #refugee families often experience painful separation. They may spend years without seeing each other, or even never reunite. UNHCR helps safeguard the fundamental right of refugees to family unity; we work to improve access to family #reunification procedures and help to support separated refugee families. 👇 Let our expert tell you more about family reunification. #FamiliesBelongTogether

Refugees are individuals who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or disaster. They face immense challenges, including the loss of their homes, communities, and often their families. As we strive to build a more inclusive and compassionate world, it is crucial to address the needs of refugees, providing them with safety, support, and opportunities to rebuild their lives. Today, I would like to highlight Refugee Story Project. These non-profit aims to share the powerful stories of refugees from around the world, shedding light on their experiences, struggles, and triumphs. By amplifying their voices, we hope to foster understanding, empathy, and action within our communities. Join us in supporting refugees by: - Listening to and sharing their stories - Supporting community efforts to welcome and integrate refugees - Contributing to organizations dedicated to refugee aid and resettlement Together, we can make a difference and help refugees find hope and a new beginning. #Refugees #Inclusion #Compassion #RefugeeStoryProject #HumanRights #Advocacy

Gender-based violence is a pervasive issue in Kakuma Refugee Camp, affecting countless women and girls. This violence not only causes physical harm but also deep psychological trauma. Addressing GBV requires robust legal frameworks, community education, and support services to protect victims and prevent future violence. We urge everyone to join us in this fight by raising awareness, supporting victims, and advocating for stronger protections. Together, we can make a difference and create a safer, more just community for all. #EnvisioningHumanity #SocialAdvocacy #refugeewellness #RefugeeAdvocacy #StopGBV UNHCR, the UN Refugee AgencyFilmAid KenyaDanish Refugee Council / Dansk FlygtningehjælpInternational Rescue CommitteeAmbitious.Africa
