Violence and persecution have forced nearly 1 million people in Central America to flee within or across the borders of their countries. Responding to these challenges requires shared responsibility and shared commitment. #MIRPS https://t.co/BgedCRiLTO

One of the greatest needs refugees have is the need to contribute. If we build smartly during COVID, refugees can benefit in ways that benefit all. That's why Canada’s commitment to increase resettlement and labor market pathways shows vision. https://t.co/npzXwYvSn3

We welcome Iran’s move to give nationality to thousands of children born to Iranian mothers and non-Iranian fathers. As we have been saying, statelessness can often be addressed with just the stroke of a pen! #IBelong https://t.co/775VFhLdM4

Disability inclusion is a priority for us at UNHCR. We have developed a 5 year plan to enhance the inclusion of people with disabilities across UNHCR's programming and to also ensure an inclusive and enabling workplace for our staff with disabilities. #IDPWD https://t.co/tH1J81mU4D

Even before the pandemic, refugees with disabilities were less likely to access health care, education and employment. C-19 is deepening pre-existing inequalities and exposing the extent of exclusion. This is why work on disability inclusion is so critical https://t.co/7awVlnfTJP

80 million people are forcibly displaced in the world today and need protection and assistance.    Today is UNHCR's annual pledging conference - an opportunity for the world to raise support for refugees, displaced and stateless people around the world. https://t.co/QhDtZXYVyO
