People with disabilities are disproportionately affected by displacement: their journey can be more challenging and they often lack access to services. UNHCR is working towards ensuring our offices and services are accessible to everyone. #GAAD https://t.co/NZASZkJLc6

Host countries need more support to help them protect refugees. This was heard loud and clear at today’s prep meeting for the #GlobalRefugeeForum. Important progress has been made to implement over 1000 pledges since 2019. We now need even more transformational contributions. https://t.co/5sjXZOA9hC

Discrimination against the LGBTIQ+ community presents real dangers that too often result in people being forced to flee their homes and country. This must stop. No one should have to live in fear of persecution and violence because of who they are. #IDAHOBIT https://t.co/DiOH5wjiUw

Responding to forced displacement requires practical yet principled approaches. This was the subject of my meeting with @StasJenV today. I hope the Netherlands will uphold its solidarity with people fleeing war and persecution through its strong asylum system and generous funding https://t.co/kIBGekg3kl

Meaningful access to justice can only be achieved when people know their rights and have the opportunities and capacities to claim them. Reassuring to be with so many international refugee and migration judges who apply international law. #IARMJ https://t.co/lMzN4T4Jjp
