Refugee youth leaders are at United Nations with a few key messages for 🌍 leaders: ✅ Include refugee youth ✅ Welcome refugees who have so much to contribute ✅ Support refugees & refugee led orgs. They understand their challenges best & know what is needed to solve them too.
Addressing #UNGA takes courage. It takes leadership. It takes power. Monicah Malith has that and so much more. She spoke from the heart, representing 120m displaced people at the Summit of the Future. To say she's inspiring is an understatement.
