This week, the Human Rights Commission of Belize trained 220 police recruits at the National Police Training Academy on refugee and asylum-seeker rights. Recruits learned: ✅ Who refugees and asylum-seekers are. ✅ Their role under the Refugees Act of Belize.

Forced to flee, yet never free from danger. Displaced and stateless women and girls face an alarming risk of gender-based violence.

Using a computer or phone to harass, threaten, or embarrass someone is against the law—and if you help or encourage it, you can be punished too! #StaySafeOnline #CybercrimeAct #StopCyberbullying #Belize

En este Mes del Amor, recordemos a quienes han tenido que separarse de sus seres queridos en busca de seguridad. Para muchas personas refugiadas y solicitantes de asilo, el amor también significa sacrificio y resiliencia. #Belize

Esperanza es más que una palabra—es poder trabajar, acceder a servicios básicos y alcanzar tus sueños. Para las personas refugiadas en Belize, esperanza significa seguridad, estabilidad y una nueva oportunidad. UNHCR Belize #ConLosRefugiados

Sea cual sea su idioma, todas las personas merecen un hogar.🏠 Incluidas las personas refugiadas.

Bajo el lema “Para TODAS las mujeres y niñas: Derechos. Igualdad. Empoderamiento”, reafirmamos nuestro compromiso con la equidad de género y la protección de los derechos de todas. La lucha por la igualdad no puede esperar. 💜 #DíaInternacionalDeLaMujer

Every Belizean has the right to vote and be elected! Your voice matters in shaping the future of our country. Elections should be free, fair, and held regularly, ensuring that every vote counts equally and remains secret. ✅ Participate in democracy. ✅ Make your voice heard.

No child should be forced to flee their home. Everyone deserves to live in safety and dignity, no matter where they come from. With the Support of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency

Para las personas refugiadas, acceder a la educación no solo significa aprender, sino también reconstruir sus sueños y forjar un mejor futuro. Sigamos promoviendo oportunidades para que todas y todos tengan acceso al conocimiento.

Droughts, floods, and hurricanes are pushing more people across borders in search of safety. Climate change is not just an environmental issue—it’s a human rights issue. It's time to recognize the growing need to protect climate-displaced people. #ClimateDisplacement

Para los niños, Para todas las personas. Sin importar el estatus migratorio, el derecho a la educación es universal. Porque aprender es un derecho, no un privilegio.

Every person in Belize — no matter their background, identity, or status — has rights. #HumanRightsBelize #EmpoweredCommunities #KnowYourRights #HRCB

We will never ask you for payment under any circumstances. If someone claims otherwise, report it immediately to our team or a trusted partner organization. Your safety and trust are our top priorities. #KnowYourRights #FreeSupport #RefugeesWelcome #Belize

Displacement and hunger are intertwined crises. As extreme weather worsens, more families are forced from their homes—and into food insecurity. At HRCB, we stand with displaced communities in Belize, advocating for access to food, shelter, and dignity for all. #HumanRightsBelize

When fleeing violence or persecution, it’s not just the body that needs healing — the mind does too. Refugees often carry deep emotional wounds from their past experiences. That’s why mental health support is a critical part of protection and recovery.

Across Belize and beyond, refugee and stateless women are stepping up — as community leaders, caregivers, entrepreneurs, and advocates. They’re not just being supported; they are driving the response, creating safer, stronger spaces for all. #Belize #HumanRights
