As my time in the Middle East draws to a conclusion after seven years, Danish Refugee Council / Dansk Flygtningehjælp has now advertised the role of Regional Advocacy and Communications Coordinator for the Middle East region. DRC's presence in the Middle East includes country offices in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkiye, Iraq, Yemen and now a response starting up in the occupied Palestinian territory. There are fantastic, dedicated, advocacy staff in the majority of these country offices - which provides a great opportunity to influence on the aid responses in those countries and support displacement- and conflicted-populations. As well as working with these excellent colleagues, there is a huge opportunity to connect their work to global aid policy agendas and to work at a regional level, including on issues of: - Ensuring Syrian refugees in the region are protected and upholding the principle of non-refoulement, at a particularly challenging time as donor funding reduces and there is more pressure on refugees to return. - Improving responses to internal displacement across the region, advocating for IDP rights, and linking to the UNSG's Action Agenda on Internal Displacement. - Advocating for inclusion of the displaced in social protection systems and working with regional and national civil society to strengthen social protection systems and ensure international aid responses seek to strengthen those systems and not ignore them. - Enhance the role of civil society across the region - through working alongside them on advocacy and promoting their voice in key aid discussions. - Much more! You can find the full description for the role here: https://lnkd.in/efq2WSyE (Update on my next step at another time.)

Is your organization faced with staffing challenges? We pioneered a new path by hiring newly resettled refugees beginning in 2021. It has been excellent for our organization, our residents and our newest team members. Today, we are proud to have more than 60 refugees still working for us, who along with their families, represent more than 200 new Americans from war-torn places such as Afghanistan, Ukraine, Syria, Congo and Colombia. This week, Mary Klein, Chief Human Resources Officer, presented “The Beginner's Guide to Hiring Refugees” to LeadingAge members. Klein shared four key takeaways for other senior living organizations considering bringing on refugees as team members: 1. This program has been a great win-win-win program for Westminster: It has allowed us to hire new team members in a challenging labor market, to support newly arrived refugees, and to engage residents throughout the organization. 2. Collaboration with resettlement agencies and providing supportive short term services is the key to success. In addition to providing employment, we’ve been able to help with housing, furnishings, transportation and more. 3. As a faith-based, not-for-profit organization, this program has excellent alignment with our Mission and Founding Principles. We take seriously God’s words to Abraham: “When a stranger resides among you in your land, you shall not mistreat him… You shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.” 4. This program has helped guide a variety of other community-based resources to our communities. We’ve helped partner with resident volunteers and other organizations to create English language programs for new team members’ children, and to help find them many of life’s necessities through donations from members of the community. Klein said that she hopes, by sharing our experiences, Westminster can help other organizations succeed in hiring refugees. “There’s so much need, far more than our organization could ever meet, and at the same time everyone in senior living is struggling with recruitment,” she said. LeadingAge has now published its very helpful toolkit on hiring refugees in partnership with Global Refuge, a national refugee resettlement agency. It includes variety of recommendations and better ways to help make these programs successful.

SURVIVORS supports Refugee Advocacy Lab and Refugees International's "Let Asylum Seekers Work" campaign 👏🏼 Many asylum seekers are eager to contribute to their host communities, but face legal barriers preventing them from working. Because 75-85% of our clients are asylum seekers, SURVIVORS knows first-hand how stressful and demoralizing it can be for our clients to wait up to 6 months to begin working and supporting their families. Allowing asylum seekers to join the labor force faster goes beyond just jobs and income - it's about fostering healthier communities. When asylum seekers are given the chance to work, it enhances their self-esteem and dignity, leading to better integration into society. This, in turn, builds stronger, more cohesive communities where people from diverse backgrounds can come together and thrive. Let's support this important campaign to make our communities more inclusive and vibrant. #letasylumseekerswork

One thing that has been highlighted in my experience working in refugee/migrant support is the prevalence of individuals lacking lived experience as refugees or migrants, yet occupying prominent leadership roles in the field. Do I think this is 'wrong'? Not really. However, I would love to see more people with lived experience be in decision-making/strategy positions so that changes would actually reflect the communities' needs more effectively. #reflections
