Afghan Health Partners | UN Advisor | Afghan Evacuation, Resettlement & Healthcare | Director, Religious Identity SIGs @Harvard | Meet me at the intersection of Healthcare & Human Rights
Calling are New Yorkers with a heart for refugees! The amazing people at Hearts & Homes for Refugees are helping New Yorkers to onboard with an exciting new State Department-led program known as the Welcome Corps. Welcome Corps allows U.S. citizens to support refugees who have been approved for resettlement through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). The U.S. currently faces a massive backlog of refugees, particularly from Afghanistan. The need is also urgent. A potential change of administration in 2025 will likely affect the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program; in Fiscal Year 2018, U.S. refugee admissions reached a historic low since the resettlement program first launched in 1980. It's time to act, now. Here’s how New Yorkers can change a life: 1. Email hello@heartsandhomesforrefugees.org with the subject, “Welcome Corps” to start a conversation with one of our staff about how you can get involved with the welcoming movement. 2. Start organizing a group of five friends, or members of your house of worship, civic group, book club… anyone who lives within a 30-minute radius to join a private sponsor group (PSG)! 3. List your PSG's preferences as part of the Welcome Corps application. Do you want to resettle a single, two people, or a family (and what size)? Is there a specific population you’d like to sponsor and resettle? Do you want to help those who have been waiting the longest? Or do you want to resettle Afghan allies, perhaps facing deportation in Pakistan? 4. Fundraise! But don’t worry! Although Welcome Corps requires each group to raise $2,425 per refugee resettled, several funds can cover more than half of that requirement, and HHR can provide guidance on how to fundraise the remainder. 5. Work with Hearts & Homes for Refugees to fill out your online application. Within a few months, HHR will support you as your team provides core sponsorship services for 90 days. https://lnkd.in/g9d9Asqv

Discussions on the #decolonization of the aid sector or refugee regime and making the responses and programming better informed and led by refugees have not been easy. #RLOs and #refugees have found themselves on the receiving end, having to prove their value in the refugee regime response. On the contrary, while donors and the "big brothers of the system" have been slow in facilitating genuine acceleration of the localization agenda, the communities that refugees and RLOs serve value them, feel their impact, and are often confronted with high expectations to deliver greater impact with less funding and facilitation. In the latest episode of "What's Unsaid Podcast" by The New Humanitarian, hosted by Obi Anyadike, I argue for the need to "let refugees lead" and to facilitate "enough seats at the table for refugees," which is the exact blueprint that Refugees SEAT is advancing. I know some of the content in the podcast will make some of us uncomfortable, but that's exactly what we need to move the needle in enhancing efficiency in supporting refugees and local actors. #share #comment #refugeesleading #decolonization

Absolutely agree with you, Ishimwe Jean Marie Decolonizing the aid sector and ensuring refugees have a seat at the table (from decision making to implementation) is critical. We have witnessed firsthand the positive impact of Refugee-led Organizations, yet they still face challenges in securing adequate funding. Thank you for sharing this important message, Ishimwe Jean Marie. Let's keep amplifying the voices of refugees and RLOs. #refugeeleadership #localization #decolonization #refugeeparticipation

WORLD REFUGEE DAY 2024: A DREAM FOR SAFETY, INCLUSION AND EQUAL TREATMENT FOR ALL REFUGEES. Year 2024 witnessed more people become displaced persons, asylum seekers and refugees. Both Palestinians and Rohingya have been victims of genocide for long decades but there is still no international solution. The absence of political will and the economic interest and investment cause Palestinians and Rohingya to continue to be victims of genocide without protection and justice. https://lnkd.in/g-DYzfpq

With the rapidly deteriorating security, human rights and humanitarian situation in #Haiti, UNHCR has issued new legal guidance to ensure that international refugee protection is provided. Indiscriminate gang violence in Haiti has led to an alarming escalation of human rights violations and large-scale internal displacement. Nearly half of the country's 11.4 million people require humanitarian assistance. 👉 Read more on UNHCR's guidance: https://bit.ly/4cmmR29

"The strength and resilience of the people we work with is just remarkable" – Kellie, Destitution Coordinator, Refugee Council. "My name is Kellie, and I work as the Destitution Coordinator at the Refugee Council. My job is to support people who experience destitution. My team and I witness the struggles refugees face first-hand. The people we support have been through so much. After escaping violence or persecution and reaching the UK to gain refugee protection, one would expect it to be a moment of joy. However, hostile policies like the 'move-on' period give people only 28 days to leave their asylum accommodation once they gain refugee status. This puts them at high risk of homelessness and destitution. When we first meet someone who needs our support, they are often bewildered, hungry, tired, and haven't slept. They just want to have a shower and go to sleep. We try to find out what people need most as quickly as possible, sometimes needing interpreters. We support by providing food and essentials, and connecting people with housing and legal support, empowering refugees to rebuild their lives. All of us working to support refugees simply want them to go on and achieve whatever success looks like to them, having choices and basic human rights. At the Refugee Council, we help people like Ruba navigate this transition and adjust to life outside of the asylum system."
