Promoting #GenderEquality 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 #GlobalTrends 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
