2020 an "extreme anomaly" for refugee resettlement. Only 22,770 refugees were resettled through UNHCR last year - a record low in almost 2 decades. This is a tiny fraction of the 1.44 million refugees estimated to be in need of resettlement worldwide. https://t.co/wDgZRYVKPQ

I met Yusuf in Yemen. He would go to school but also had to work to feed his family, taking his textbooks with him during his night shift. He and millions of kids face barriers in accessing education - what should be a right not a privilege. #EducationDay https://t.co/lYKIhj1hJG

And I can't comprehend how some of the world's most disadvantaged people - victims of wars, conflict and persecution - face stigmatization and discrimination instead of compassion, empathy and admiration. (And not to mention they have a fundamental, human right to claim asylum).

Whenever I hear statements like this, I think of all the refugees and asylum seekers I have met through my work. The women who were raped, the children I saw who were mutilated, the centenarians who had to spend their last years displaced. https://t.co/7Dqrg2yf3I
