Promoting is a mission and I am lucky to work for an organization that takes it seriously. It means better protection for all.

A critical part of that is partnering with displaced women-led organizations to bridge the gender gap & find solutions.

Our new report reveals staggering statistics & a dangerous complacency taking root.

120 million people globally are now forcibly displaced.

There are real people behind the statistics. Too many lives torn apart, too many futures uncertain. unhcr.org/globaltrends

β€˜It is not too late to try and save countless millions more from the scourge of war.’

We need cacophony to end & peace to prevail. From Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan to DR Congo and Myanmar, it's not too late.

In Tokyo - reminded again of increasing strength of corporates/individuals to help us bring relief to people forced to flee around the 🌍, bringing their expertise to help find solutions to displacement & further work on education, climate, health & jobs. Good business to do good

11 months later, the border town of Adre πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡© is again overwhelmed by more than 180,000 refugees, most with no belongings. And more refugees arrive daily. Chad RRRP is only funded at 6%! Not enough funds to help β€œsur place” nor to open new sites. A catastrophy at our doorsteps.

Resilience against shocks

This is what the UNHCR Climate Resilience Fund will unlock for refugees.
