It was a pleasure to meet with @PRMAsstSec to discuss issues related to forced displacement worldwide and innovative approaches to refugee resettlement. #USRefugeeAdvisoryBoard @HIASrefugees

[PRM Assistant Secretary @PRMAsstSec]

What a delight to meet today with refugee advisors and advocates from the #USRefugeeAdvisoryBoard and @RefugeeCongress. Such incredible lived experiences, so much passion, such great advice for us in @StatePRM. Thanks. We will keep the dialogue going!

Ukrainian Roma still face unequal access to assistance. Today, thanks to the support of Humanity Now, we are publishing a report on the situation of Roma refugees in the province of Podkarpackie.

Absolutely devastating catastrophe in Ukraine that affected at least 37 towns and cities and forced thousands out of their homes.

[IRC - International Rescue Committee @RESCUEorg]

NEW: We condemn last night’s attack on Ukraine’s Kakhovka dam and electric plant—an attack which constitutes yet another serious violation of international humanitarian law. https://t.co/VT8ZkSAfEK

@NYtimes fully filmed a #pushback of 12 asylum seekers, including children, by Greek authorities. Asylum seekers were forced in a van on #Lesvos, transferred to a @HCoastGuard vessel, and then left adrift in an inflatable raft. #stoppushback https://t.co/gKSL8C7aMb

«The fire in #Mexico, along with several other tragic incidents involving refugees and migrants in the region in recent months, is a clear reflection of the dangerous and uncertain situation faced by those seeking safety.»

[PRM Assistant Secretary @PRMAsstSec]

Excellent discussion with @SabrinaSalu and @Krisgb2017 from @HIASrefugees today about our continued joint efforts to resettle the most vulnerable refugees, removing them from danger and helping them start productive new lives.

[Refugee Congress @RefugeeCongress]

Powerful words from RC Vice Chair, ⁦@MyloriUSA⁩ founder and ⁦@AfricansUS⁩ Network Director @dsesay1 on why ⁦@POTUS⁩ must say NO to family detention, and NO to an asylum ban.

Powerful! @noahgo #WelcomeWithDignity

In 2014 I experienced forced displacement only to find out that in 9 years all people in my country will be affected by war, become refugees or IDPs. Women and girls who have access to education and economic opportunities can recover much quicker and be driving force for change.

[Olga Morkova @olyamorkova]

When my hometown where I got displaced from is featured in @nytimes finally. I can’t stop reiterating how strategically important Crimea is and how vital it is for humanitarians to do contingency planning in case of escalation in Black Sea area. @NYTBen https://t.co/nzhBtgfTuq

[Olga Morkova @olyamorkova]

Very sad to learn that my colleague, a prominent Ukrainian human rights defender and advocate for rights of refugees and asylum seekers in Ukraine was “sentenced” to 13 years in Russian prison following sham trial. This has to end. https://t.co/dFR1To1zOA
