Today 19 Humanitarian Organizations and UN agencies united their efforts to work together for the wellbeing of Ukrainian refugees in Bulgaria in 2024 in support of the government’s response and leadership, as part of the Regional Refugee Response Plan for the Ukraine situation.

Last month, I assumed my role of Assistant High Commissioner for Protection at UN @Refugees.

We need a world where refugees are not just welcomed, but protected and afforded the opportunities they deserve.

[UNHCR Bulgaria @BulgariaUNHCR]

Thank you @GabrielMariya for inviting UNHCR. Human trafficking exploits individuals and forced displacement makes refugees vulnerable to exploitation, trafficking, & smuggling. Addressing these vulnerabilities is vital for protecting forcibly displaced people

[UNHCR Bulgaria @BulgariaUNHCR]

Young refugees bring skills and can be a great asset for their host countries. With this message @Refugees supporter in #Bulgaria and young pilot Mohadese Mirzaae opened today’s #RefugeeForum linked panel on “Youth Leadership in Action”. Watch live: https://t.co/xsl5bCRcCa
