Before the opening of the 2022 UNHCR Protection Dialogue, we met with some of the refugee representatives participating in the event. The #HCDialogue’s theme is the role of development in addressing forced displacement. Refugee voices are indispensable to its successful outcome. https://t.co/04FzaG2JmZ

Thank you, donor partners, for pledging US$1.1 billion to UNHCR’s work in 2023 — the highest amount reached at the yearly Pledging Conference. This solidarity is encouraging. We look forward to more support to meet the needs of 103 million refugees and displaced people globally. https://t.co/YI15bJG74a

Pleased to sign a new agreement with the Japanese government in support of UNHCR’s work in Afghanistan: an innovative approach combining humanitarian aid and sustainable solutions. Japan’s long standing commitment to the Afghan people is most valuable at this challenging time. https://t.co/v6rPlRLE65

Celebrating 30 years of DAFI, the premier refugee scholarship programme. Almost 23,000 refugees have graduated. More than 8,000 are currently enrolled, half in Africa. Big thanks to main partner @GermanyDiplo and to @DanishMFA @CzechMFA for contributing. We need more supporters! https://t.co/wDRi6yhoeO

Kuwait’s civil society and its philanthropic sector have amazing capacity, experience, resources and dynamism. I was inspired and encouraged by my exchanges with them. Thank you @zakat_house and @SaduHouse for hosting us. @MOFAKuwait https://t.co/IsBFZHYr4g

Working in situations of conflict and crisis we encounter women who have suffered horrific gender based violence. Every day. And it is getting worse. All of us, especially men in leadership, must engage — more boldly, more effectively. #OrangeTheWorld #16DaysOfActivism https://t.co/ud66wIXLaM

“While states point fingers and trade blame, lives are lost. What is needed is more state-led search and rescue efforts, predictable disembarkations in places of safety, and expedited access to screening and asylum procedures.” A statement by UNHCR: 👇🏻👇🏻 https://t.co/8fhDK3CAmY
