Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies’ Post

#HumanRightsDay2023 let’s remember that #ModernSlavery is a #HumanRights issue first and foremost and the surest path to ending this severe form of exploitation once and for all is to put #HumanRightsFirst. Human rights must not be undermined, no matter if the human in question is: incarcerated, a migrant, a refugee or a runaway and homeless youth. Take action for human rights today! https://lnkd.in/eYQgdHRB

🌟🔍 Wrapping up reflections on yesterday's workshop for the #GlobalRefugeeForum2023 – Equity Learning Journeys are essential when organizations pursue wrong battles to reach #meaningfulrefugeeparticipation such as refugee's impartiality, identity policing, and when organizations confuse allies' roles and responsibilities. Equity Learning Journeys are the key to dismantling tokenism and fostering accountability to the #meaningfulparticipation agenda. Let's commit to internal reflection along with people of forced displacement to bring about meaningful participation and change. #RefugeeLeadership #ByRefugees

In light of the recent attacks on refugee and asylum-seeking families and children in the UK, we must reaffirm our commitment to an inclusive and diverse society that upholds human rights for all. Seeking asylum is a human right. Children and families affected by climate, crisis and conflict have the right to seek safety in the UK. As professionals and citizens, we have a collective responsibility to stand in solidarity with vulnerable populations, actively combat misinformation and dispel myths about displaced people, share accurate information to foster understanding and empathy and be vocal allies in our workplaces and communities. Diversity strengthens our society and economy. By supporting refugees and asylum-seekers, we not only fulfil our moral obligations but also enrich our culture and workforce. Together, we can build a more inclusive UK that values and protects all its residents, regardless of their origin. #UKRiots #StandWithRefugees #InclusiveWorkplaces 

It’s National Refugee #AdvocacyDays24! This week, hundreds of advocates nationwide are meeting with their members of Congress in their home states, urging them to #ProtectNewcomers. At Partnerships for Trauma Recovery, we know #AdvocacyWorks, and we call on Congress to strengthen protections for people seeking safety and uphold our nation’s tradition of welcoming newcomers. #AdvocacyDays24 #WeAreAllAmerica

While #Colombia is often lauded for its accepting policies towards the 2.4 million Venezuelans who have fled to the country, access to the rights provided by these policies remains challenging because of confusing processes, lack of information and bureaucratic requirements, among other obstacles. In addition, while 80% of Venezuelans intend to stay in Colombia long-term, rampant xenophobia causes widespread discrimination and even violence against Venezuelans. To combat these issues and improve the lives of community members, our 2022-23 partners—Fundación RadaBer and El Derecho a No Obedecer —and coalition member, Refugiados Unidos , provide a wide range of services and programs in Colombia, including legal assistance, employment and entrepreneurship support, healthcare, psychosocial services, emergency aid, and community cohesion and integration.
