Today is #WorldRefugeeDay, a day to raise awareness about the millions of refugees and forcibly displaced persons worldwide. As a part of World Refugee Day, we’re bringing back the story of Munifa Ahmed, an Ethiopian refugee from Saudi Arabia who is forging a path as an entrepreneur in Canada. Often, the stories you might hear about refugees fall into one of two categories. First, there are the success stories: the refugee who flees conflict to seamlessly launch a new and successful life in Canada; the Canadian dream, so to speak. Then, there are the heartbreaking stories, those that elicit sympathy and pity, and promote global action. But what about the stories that fall in between? Munifa’s story is undoubtedly a story of success, but success built by overcoming barrier after barrier, through perseverance and despite systemic challenges. Munifa’s story reminds us that the refugee experience continues long after the border is crossed and the hearings are over, and inspires us to engage critically with how we can better support refugees in Canada, both at an individual and a community level. You can check out Munifa's story right here: https://lnkd.in/gTaPjHdk #movingtocanada #refugeeincanada

Refugee Week 2024 has kicked off this week. It is Australia’s peak annual activity to promote awareness of refugees, the issues they face and the contributions refugees are making to the Australian society. This year's theme "Finding Freedom: Family" comes as at a time when forced displacement has soared drastically over the last few years around the world. The UNHCR states over 120 million people have been forcibly displaced, out of which 43 million are refugees. Australia as one of the world's active refugee host nations has housed thousands of refugees over the last few years that come from countries around the world and now call Australia home. It is important that we reflect on the challenges refugees face in Australia and around the world while cherishing the important contributions they make to the stable growth of the Australian communities and economy.

❗ 20 June - World Refugee Day Today, it is about standing in #solidarity with #refugees and sending a message of welcome and hope. But how do we demonstrate our solidarity? In practical terms, 📌 By educating ourselves about the refugee crisis, the causes of displacement, and the challenges that the refugees face; 📌 By advocating for refugees’ rights and supporting policies that protect refugees; 📌 By offering time, goods and skills to reputable organizations that work with refugees; 📌 By offering services or products to refugees at a discounted rate or for free; 📌 By becoming a mentor to a refugee, helping them navigate their new environment, find employment, or pursue education. 📌 By promoting cultural exchange; 📌 By being a friend. By taking any action, we can make a meaningful impact and show true solidarity with refugees. #WorldRefugeeDay, #WithRefugees

World Refugee Day on June 20th is designed to celebrate and honour refugees from around the world. The day aims to recognise the strength of the refugees who have fled the conflict and persecution of their country in hope of finding sanctuary and living a better life. This Day builds the concept of understanding for their plight which shows one's resilience and courage in the rebuilding of their future. This is an opportunity for everyone to experience, understand and celebrate the rich diversity of the communities of refugees. A refugee is an individual who leaves their country due to the ramifications of war, conflict persecutions and violence that they have faced within their home country. Through undertaking the process of crossing international borders, some refugees are often found to leave everything behind carrying only the minimal clothing and possessions; with the plan to find safety and haven in a different country. Refugees play a role in the globe as when they are positioned to have access to the legal employment opportunities in their host country, they are able to utilises their knowledge to assist in filling the gap of a country's labour market. Let’s challenge ourselves, and others, to join them, in the aims to receive and support refugees in our schools, neighbourhoods, and workplaces no matter where we are. Let’s support refugees all over the world, and show people that we must stand with them in their plight, and honour the courage, strength and determination of millions of women, men and children who are forced to flee their homeland though threat of persecution, conflict and violence, looking for the promise of a better life. #internationalrefugeeday #refugees #humanity #crossingborders
