“Refugee-led organizations are successful because they have awareness outsiders don’t have and connections to refugees outsiders can’t reach.” – Yasmin Kayali of @basmehzeitooneh @bonniesychiu #RefugeesLead

@elliereeves how do constituents engage you on issues aside from
postal delivery and elder care?

Your X comments are unfairly toxic, not a forum for citizen engagement. And blocking DMs, means you are not accessible.

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 are tired of empty rhetoric and the mere use and definition of their engagement as a discussion point in global events. It's crucial that we translate discussions into tangible actions that empower refugees and recognize their expertise.

Thanks to the entire team at @ODI_Global for graciously hosting me and facilitating a powerful dialogue with other remarkable refugee leaders and experts.

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.
