During UNHCR’s annual consultations with NGOs we assigned this year’s #NGOInnovationAward to seven winners - celebrating their inspiring work that empowers and helps women and girls forced to flee. https://t.co/sCCNue3hC5

I met President Rodrigo Chaves at the #SummitoftheAmericas. Costa Rica 🇨🇷 is a key actor in hosting, protecting and integrating refugees. We committed to working together to address forced displacement and mobilize resources needed by countries in the region. @presidenciacr https://t.co/Wpqx5l4EBo

UNHCR is helping 300 refugees from the Central African Republic return home from Cameroon, working closely with the two governments. More will follow. Forced displacement can end when conditions improve in countries of origin and refugees can go back in safety and dignity. https://t.co/atzrL0LvUc

Sport helps people forced to flee be healthy, resilient and included in host communities, as we discussed in Madrid with Thomas Bach @iocmedia, Alejandro Blanco @COE_es, Minister @joseluisescriva. Key contributions were made by civil society @CEARefugio and refugees themselves. https://t.co/WugyKoIb4N

Grateful to be received by #PMHasina. We spoke of the urgency to seek just, safe, sustainable solutions for Rohingya refugees in Myanmar. Meanwhile Bangladesh needs strong international support as it continues to offer hospitality and protection to almost a million refugees. https://t.co/TDmZZKrhiF

More than 100 million people globally have been forced to flee war, violence, persecution, discrimination. 100 million refugees and displaced people are a terrible indicator of the state of our world. The quest for solutions to their plight must continue. https://t.co/IMANMKxDVa

For decades, the #Rohingya people have suffered discrimination, violence and exile. To help them preserve heritage, identity and links to the homeland a cultural memory centre has been created in the Kutupalong refugee camp. Thank you @UNmigration for this important project. https://t.co/yvXt811Io6

Today was spent with Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh: I am grateful to the government and its UN and NGO partners for the big relief efforts; mindful of the refugees’ wish to return to Myanmar if their rights and security are assured; and hopeful that donors will stay engaged. https://t.co/btVDoHd41G

Warm congratulations, Anthony Albanese @AlboMP, from all of us at UNHCR. We look forward to working closely with your government on refugee issues — in Australia and globally — and we trust that under your leadership Australia will further strengthen its humanitarian engagement.
