No-one who arrives on our shores having fled war, persecution or violence should be treated like a criminal.

Someone’s dream is a fellow human being’s nightmare.

I was delighted to include a refugee voice at the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency #ExCom opening plenary session by ceding some of the time for the U.S. statement to our delegate, ⁦@BasmaAlawee⁩. Thanks for reminding us why we are all here, Basma!

This was definitely one of the high points of my career!

This is what we want to see! Refugee voices represented in policy conversations on refugee and displacement issues. #ExCom2022

La Colombia en Ginebra 🇨🇴🇨🇭🇺🇳 🇨🇴 felicitó a los países 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇩🇪 que incluyeron refugiados en sus delegaciones del #ExCom73 UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency #UNHCR #ACNUR , resaltó la inspiradora intervención de @BasmaAlawee de la U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva e instó a que los refugiados sean incluidos en las próximas delegaciones.

Yordan is inevitable. 💪 #postseason

As UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency #EXCOM2022 draws to a close, proud to have worked w/ PRM Assistant Secretary Noyes & the 🇺🇸 delegation during these critical annual discussions on humanitarian aid. Important that the U.S. & others are including refugees like @BasmaAlawee’s in these essential conversations.

Meaningful partnership with #RLOs requires their full participation in the design, implementation, and evaluation of programs, and not just sub-granting them for activities they don't fully comprehend. #equalpartnership #meaningfulparticipation #localization

Yesterday, R-SEAT: Refugees Seeking Equal Access at the Table and @BoschStiftung hosted the "Participation goes International" workshop in Berlin, Germany. We used discussions and breakout sessions to understand how German refugee and migrant leaders feel about meaningful representation!

We still have the opportunity to shape a culture and future where refugees play a central role in driving solutions. It's time to go beyond words and truly prioritize meaningful refugee participation as a catalyst for social change within refugee communities. #Refugee leaders
