Today our thoughts must also be with millions of people in Afghanistan and Palestine; among Rohingya and Syrian refugees; in Yemen, the Sahel and too many other places of war, violence and exile, who cannot celebrate #EidAlFitr in their homes, with their loved ones, and in peace.

“We cannot respond to this crisis by going back...or withdrawing into national shells.
We need more international cooperation-not less; strengthened multilateral institutions-not a retreat from them; better global governance-not a chaotic free-for-all.” news.un.org/en/story/2020/09…

#CanadaDay 🇨🇦 is coming and we think one of the best ways to celebrate is to share the stories of refugees who came from afar in search of safety and made Canada their new home. Join the #FromFarAndWide challenge!

Located in the quiet Calgary neighbourhood of Bridgeland, the Margaret Chisholm Resettlement Centre is the starting point for government-assisted refugees who arrive in the city. #WorldRefugeeDay #RefugeeDay #Calgary #YYC @BRCAssociation @bridgelandmrkt @nenshi
19 Days reveals the human side of the refugee resettlement process. A unique look at the global migration crisis and one particular stage of asylum, it lays plain the realities faced on the difficult road towards integration. #WorldRefugeeDay @AshaReports @ro_siyaad @thenfb
