Keep eyes on Gaza. Keep eyes on Sudan. Keep eyes on Ukraine. Keep eyes on Myanmar. Keep eyes on DR Congo. Not every crisis makes the headlines, but all deserve the world’s attention.

Advocating for the rights of LGBTIQ+ refugees goes beyond #PrideMonth . This month, next month and every month of the year, we will always work to protect everyone’s right to seek and enjoy asylum who are fleeing violence, war and persecution. #Pride

How can we ensure our solutions to forced displacement and statelessness are sustainable? The answer is clear: inclusion. Integrating forcibly displaced persons into national systems is the path towards lasting solutions. #UNHCRNGO2024

What happens if your school is washed away in a flood? After floods in Afghanistan destroyed their village, these children are now studying outdoors. Support by @UNHCRAfg provides some relief, but more support is needed as communities struggle with shock and loss.

Displaced Afghan, Zahra, now runs a carpet-making company in Herat, set up with a UNHCR business grant, employing 25 women – all displaced like her. “People who are displaced need support to start new lives, to earn an income & access basic services.” #WorldRefugeeDay

In #Tchad , women and children arrive at the border with harrowing stories of violence and fear. 630 people daily. With the rainy season threatening disease, urgent relocation of #refugees to safer areas is crucial for #protection and to save lives.

Civilians continue to pay the heavy price of the ongoing fighting in Sudan. Each day the war continues, they’re robbed of the lives they’re entitled to and the future they deserve. Enough.

We must do more to give refugees hope. We must do more to give refugees opportunities. Including refugees in our schools, workplaces, health systems and communities is part of how we can do this.

Most refugees want to return to their countries, but home is often out of reach due to ongoing insecurity and lack of livelihoods or housing
