The GRSI hosted a high-level Roundtable on Protection Pathways and Sponsorship on the margins of #UNGA78 on 23 Sept 2023.

It was a joy for the GRSI’s core group members to be joined by guests & friends, as we continue to support #CommunitySponsorship programs around the world.

The escalation of hostilities in #Israel & the Occupied Palestinian Territory #OPT is gravely concerning.

It is imperative that all civilians, including women & girls, are protected.

We call for immediate deescalation & for upholding & respecting international humanitarian law.
