How to decolonize narratives about refugees and build a global refugee sector that puts refugees first? The topic was thoroughly discussed at a side event of the #GlobalRefugeeForum last Friday by a truly amazing panel of human beings: Sana Mustafa / سنا مصطفى, ANA MARIA DIEZ, Matai Muon, Mohammed Naeem, Farhad Shamo Roto and Hafsar Tameesuddin. They demand the right to self-representation, the recognition that the lived experience of forcibly displaced people become THE skill required to sit at the table and shape decisions. They reclaim a change of norms and policies, and ask to carefully distinguish between the volume of refugees engagement and the quality of it. Also, they are conscious of the risk to be co-opted and are ready to stop playing safe. It was powerful and refreshing. Thanks Refugees International, The New Humanitarian and Asylum Access for the space you offered for such critical reflections.

🕯️10 years after the #Lampedusa shipwreck, we still need to conceive an 🇪🇺 EU migration and asylum policy that puts people at the centre. 📕 https://lnkd.in/ecQdNHGk Read 'Towards a humane refugee policy for the EU' FEPS latest book on the topic. ➡ https://lnkd.in/ecQdNHGk This innovative book suggests a humane approach to receiving refugees in Europe based on strengthening the role of municipalities and their civil society in the relocation and reception of people in need of protection. While this proposal may not be a panacea for the complex EU migration and refugee policy, the strategies outlined in this book could benefit the hosting communities as much as the newcomers. #Lampedusa2013 #LampedusaShipwreck #PactonMigration

Today is World Refugee Day. Every day, all over the world, people are forced to leave their home country in search of a safer life for themselves and their families. They leave to escape war, persecution and other serious human rights violations. Under the Refugee Quota Programme Aotearoa New Zealand welcomes 1,500 refugees a year. This does not include the hundreds of people in Aotearoa granted refugee status after seeking asylum here or those still waiting to be granted refugee status. Here we have compiled some resources to help you learn more about the experiences of former and current refugees here in Aotearoa, and the unique and significant contributions they make to society. https://lnkd.in/g6666rdj
