'#Cashassistance could potentially expose #refugees through fraud, corruption, discrimination, sexual exploitation& abuse. This risk should not be underestimated, especially when more than 80% of the refugees are women and children, majority with limited education level.'- Zahra https://t.co/55DUckIYCC

In July 2018 - @Refugees and @WFP jointly launched a project to identify and mitigate the risk of abuse by private sector service providers in providing monetary assistance to refugees - in view of the importance of cash transfers for assistance to vulnerable populations.

UNHCR staff in Rwanda observe a minute’s silence for our colleague Musoni Jackson and all the passengers of the Ethiopian Airlines flight ET 302 which crashed in Ethiopia yesterday. 'Our deepest sympathies are with Jackson's family and the families of the 157 passengers'. https://t.co/zNSnqsXJto

On this #IWD2019 we salute the brave and resilient refugee women living in #Rwanda (both urban and camp based refugee women) for their ingenuity and courage. Despite the horrific things they had been through, they are working hard to create hopes for the future. #BalanceforBetter https://t.co/7hVXhI3ktK

'Gender equality means that people have rights regardless of gender. In today’s world, men and women contribute equally to the development of countries as well as families. This means that all women are capable of doing the same thing as men.' Aimee, Kiziba refugee camp #IWD2019 https://t.co/gyWdohwq4w
