Use caution when receiving messages that promise employment opportunities, resettlement, visa help, or assistance for money or other favours. ⚠️ UNHCR services are always free of charge.

By mid-2024, 630,000 people benefited from UNHCR’s programmes addressing violence against women and girls. UNHCR calls on governments and donors to increase funding to expand these life-saving services. Ahead of #IWD2025, we stand #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

Violence in DR Congo has forced families to flee, leaving everything behind. Thousands are stuck in overcrowded shelters or stranded without food, water or medical care. Stand with them, share their story and help bring aid where it’s needed most.

The crisis in Sudan hasn’t stopped, but global attention is fading. Every minute, families are forced to flee, facing unimaginable hardship. We cannot let Sudan become a forgotten emergency. Stay informed. Speak out. Take action. Sudan’s people need us. #KeepEyesOnSudan

“I believe in leading by example. If we want to see change in our communities, we have to invest in ourselves first. When you lead with that mindset, others will follow." Mandela Kuet’s childhood in Winnipeg’s North End was shaped by the sights and sounds of a community deeply intertwined with both Indigenous and newcomer cultures. It was a place where the sense of family, culture, and community provided a foundation for Mandela’s lifelong commitment to making a difference. Through his organization, The HoodFams, Mandela works with Winnipeg youth, addressing systemic inequalities, bridging cultures, and preventing gang involvement through education and sports. 🏀 🎒 ➡️ Read more about Mandela's story and his incredible work in the community: https://lnkd.in/ewb24FXK
