It is possible to manage borders and address security concerns while implementing fair, humane and efficient policies towards asylum-seekers - in accordance with States’ obligations under international human rights and refugee law, as well as European law.

In response to  the ongoing crisis we will expand our protection and operational presence where new displacements have occurred. Our priorities will be on maintaining basic safeguards, advocacy for improved access to fundamental rights and preventing forced returns, among others. https://t.co/A58L6nnoNn

I’m looking forward to the launch today of the latest World Bank and UNHCR research looking at the impact of forced displacement on women and girls. Much more needs to be done to achieve gender equality and empower displaced women and girls. Join us for a discussion today here: https://t.co/bjkMub1S9I
