Urban displacement demands bold, coordinated action. On behalf of the Global Champions Group on IDPs, voiced strong support for the Special Rapporteur’s Paula Gaviria call: whole-of-government, rights-based, and people-first solutions.  Let’s turn momentum into impact.

From violence to healing. Today’s #DDR Symposium opens a new chapter in peacebuilding, where communities lead, transitions are nationally owned, and dignity drives every decision. We must act together to reduce displacement and build lasting resilience.

When safe, regular, and orderly migration is used as a strategic driver of solidarity, inclusion & development, we all benefit. At the #WorldSocialSummit, I'm joining leaders to turn this vision into reality, where every person on the move can contribute fully to their new home.

At the #WorldSocialSummit side event with Jessica Coates, Alya Ahmed Saif Al Thani, Monaco à l'ONU I highlighted the urgent need to protect young migrant athletes from trafficking and exploitation. Sport must be a force for good—not a gateway to abuse. Collective action is key.

I came to Sudan to listen. At Al Afad camp, I met families who fled Al Fasher. A mother who lost her husband and children. Girls just nine years old now displaced and traumatized. 30M people need aid. 10M are displaced. Sudan’s crisis is deepening. The world must not look away.

In 2025 alone, CERF - The UN's emergency fund’s funding has helped IOM respond to emergencies in 23 countries to reach 1.3M+ people. A stronger CERF means stronger humanitarian action when it’s needed the most. #CERF20
