Hope alone is not enough
We must work to change the systems that hold young refugees back and amplify their voices until policymakers have no choice but to listen.
#UniteForPeace
Stand in solidarity with girls and young people living in refugee and displaced settings around the world.
Across the globe, young people are calling for everyone to #UniteForPeace by sharing your ❤ or a photograph of the three things you would take with you in the event of an emergency.
Millions of young people are displaced by conflicts and crises every year.
We’re standing in solidarity with young refugees and calling for:
- Safe and equal access to services and opportunities for girls and young women living in refugee camps and host communities. This includes equipping all young people with the tools to challenge harmful gender norms.
- Investment in programmes and policies that prioritise protection, dignity, and inclusion for young refugees including access to documentation, education, healthcare, and freedom of movement.
- An end to negative stereotypes and discrimination of refugees and for the recognition of the valuable skills, aspirations, and contributions they bring to their communities
- The meaningful inclusion of young refugees, especially girls and young women, in decision-making processes in their communities and beyond.
It could happen to any of us
Stand in in solidarity with girls and young people living in refugee and displaced settings around the world.
