I’m looking forward to the launch today of the latest World Bank and UNHCR research looking at the impact of forced displacement on women and girls. Much more needs to be done to achieve gender equality and empower displaced women and girls. Join us for a discussion today here: https://t.co/bjkMub1S9I

I’m in South Africa this week and today met with refugees who have been facing real difficulties in gaining access to documentation, education, health and employment. With small business grants from @unhcrsafrica and partners, some have been able to rebuild their lives. https://t.co/fza9whMEu3

Children represent more than 40% of those forcibly displaced. This report shows that investing in protecting children is both affordable and makes real differences in the lives of the most vulnerable –it is literally lifesaving: https://t.co/kPH1QsuM2V

Today I saw in the Tongogara refugee camp how essential the projects on education and livelihoods are for refugees' self-reliance. As I leave Zimbabwe, I thank the government and our donors and partners for supporting these projects and helping refugees thrive. https://t.co/SJipE9nz3e

We welcome the establishment of the @EUAsylumAgency. UNHCR is committed to strengthening our cooperation with EUAA and to work with EU states to ensure fair and fast asylum procedures. Numbers of arrivals to the EU are manageable. Working together we can better protect refugees. https://t.co/fKrcA8EU0h

Millions of Afghans are in the grip of a worsening humanitarian crisis. There are complex protection issues. As they flee, women and children face a heightened risk of gender-based violence, exploitation, and trafficking. Today donors #InvestInHumanity. https://t.co/oIhO1ytrwi
