An inspiring night at the 2024 Nansen Refugee Awards, together with Noor Azizah who spoke so powerfully today about her experience from statelessness, to citizenship, to being an incredible advocate for the Rohingya community.

She’s a sister in every sense of the word: a carer, protector and someone you want on your side. We are incredibly honoured to recognize Sister Rosita Milesi as this year’s #NansenAward Global Laureate for her extraordinary service to people forced to flee.

Honoured and inspired to meet the 2024 Nansen Award Dinner for Asia, Deepti Gurung. Deepti campaigned to reform Nepal’s citizenship laws after learning that her two daughters had become stateless – opening a path to citizenship for them and thousands more in her country & region.

교육은 난민을 포함한 모든 사람의 기본적인 인권입니다. 그렇지만 학령기 난민 아동의 거의 절반이 학교를 다니지 못하고 있습니다. 우리는 난민 아동의 교육받을 권리를 반드시 보호해야 합니다. 2024 유엔난민기구 교육 보고서: #RefugeeEducation

Education is a fundamental human right for everyone, including refugees. Yet nearly half of school-aged refugees worldwide are out of school. We must protect refugees’ right to education. #RefugeeEducation
