This historic approval is pivotal towards addressing the urgent needs and challenges faced by IDPs in the country.

"...The next critical step is for Senate to approve a corresponding bill. By doing so, the govt can effectively strengthen its efforts in assisting, empowering, & providing durable solutions for IDPs across the nation," stated Mr. Romeo Dongeto, Executive Director of PLCPD.

[PLCPD @PLCPD1989]

"PLCPD extends its heartfelt gratitude to all participants for their invaluable insights, dedication, and commitment. Together, we can bridge legislative gaps and create a future where the rights of people forced to flee and stateless persons are protected." - Romeo Dongeto

[PLCPD @PLCPD1989]

"Our common goal of providing durable solutions for people forced to flee, stateless, and at-risk of statelessness begins with building our internal capacity to effectively advocate for the passage of the laws that will institutionalize the needed legal frameworks . . ."

Throughout the event, participants from legislative & congressional offices, along with govt and non-govt agencies, engaged in a fruitful exchange of ideas, building a collective commitment to advance the rights and welfare of people forced to flee and stateless persons.
