Many cities around the world are showing how to include refugees in their COVID-19 response. On #WorldCitiesDay we salute their efforts. @MayorsMigration https://t.co/UtMZh8Ds2n

From Sao Paulo, Douala, Berlin, Istanbul, Montreal and beyond, cities are stepping up to protect refugees and displaced people amid COVID. Solutions start at the local level and local authorities and communities play critical roles as first responders. https://t.co/iIlr3alhXv

Child Protection programs are chronically underfunded, leaving many children at risk. We echo the appeal for urgent investment in these programs and in building capacity esp. among local actors, to help children stay safe during COVID and displacement.   https://t.co/ifYkYN04a7

Rohingya refugees are not only displaced but also stateless. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated some of the challenges they face. At today’s #RohingyaConf2020 we appeal for support, solidarity and solutions. https://t.co/gMbY9Hh3ov

COVID-19 has made this one of the most challenging times for rights of the child, especially for the 31 million refugee and displaced children.   Only with concerted action can we do more to help ensure their safety and protection, and mitigate the impact of the pandemic. https://t.co/6GXvxpAlsd

Armed conflict, poverty, food insecurity, climatic changes and COVID-19 are converging in the Sahel, making it one of the world’s fastest growing protection crises. At today’s high-level humanitarian event for #SahelNow, we join the call for urgent support to #InvestInHumanity. https://t.co/6bIOuuWR8K

2.7 million people have been forced from their homes across the Sahel. From executions, rampant gender-based violence to attacks on schools, the level of brutality meted out against civilians is horrific. In the face of this mounting crisis we must bolster support for #SahelNow https://t.co/htvyOERM65

There are many ways the private sector can support refugees but the fastest track to integration is through employment.   My remarks to @YPO at today’s European Impact Summit: https://t.co/EJg8LnZyIV

When refugees are denied rights to work, many are forced to turn to the informal economy placing them at risk of exploitation and abuse. Ensuring refugee access to formal employment enables their security and self-reliance and also facilitates their integration. #ypoeis2020
