100 million people forced to flee. This is a record that never should have been set. Let this serve as a grim reminder to strengthen our efforts to find solutions + aid those displaced, including in long-standing situations such as Afghanistan and Myanmar https://t.co/Psf1xwn2Tw https://t.co/NaeQfDawJE

Skills training helps Rohingya refugees, especially from vulnerable groups, to feel confident, contribute gainfully to their community + rebuild their lives, now and upon their safe + voluntary return home.

Yesterday I met Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, where nearly 1 million are hosted. Until it is safe for them to return home to Myanmar, the generosity of the Govt. and support of the international community is crucial in delivering lifesaving protection + assistance. https://t.co/nSqIBcKELN

Despite the many crises in the world, it is critical that the international community not neglect the needs of refugees from Myanmar and Afghanistan seeking shelter and protection. This is crucial now as the socio-economic impact of the pandemic is only starting to be felt. https://t.co/oJ4dp4i7KV

Dr. Saleema Rehman's story from an Afghan refugee to the first woman doctor of her community is a shining example of how education empowers displaced people and enables them to support their own communities as well as their hosts. https://t.co/UfGEibDrRz

Through decades of conflict + displacement, the will of Afghan women has endured. Today, as the country faces a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented levels, their rights to education, work + freedom of movement must be upheld. Afghanistan cannot go forward without its women. https://t.co/MrbwCmDpSZ

A sobering statistic: 1 out of 2 people in Afghanistan don't know where their next meal is coming from. This is reality for more than 24 million Afghans. I hope at today's pledging conf. hosted by 🇬🇧🇶🇦🇩🇪 + 🇺🇳, the international community unites in solidarity for Afghanistan. https://t.co/o2WnZ9AP2u

Despite challenges, Bangladesh and its people continue to host over a million Rohingya refugees. This generosity must be recognized and supported, especially now with global displacement on the rise. We need to ensure that the Rohingya situation isn't forgotten. https://t.co/GersJbOm70
