We are a refugee-led initiative for inclusive, sustainable and effective refugee policy.
Why Does Amplifying Refugee Voices Matter? |
Nothing about us without us |
Refugees and diaspora are essential stakeholders for defining and implementing comprehensive and sustainable global refugee policy.
Too often these populations are brought into international discussions after policy has been defined. They are included as token victims of the crisis, not active agents of change or experts with personal and professional field experience. Refugees must have a seat at the negotiating table if their interests are to be adequately addressed--and if decision-making processes are to promote resilience and sustainability. |
Add your name to the #RefugeeDeclaration for effective and sustainable refugee policy to affirm that refugees have agency and to send a clear message to governments that refugees must be included in all decisions regarding their future. |
