These arrangements simply shift asylum responsibilities, evade international obligations, and are contrary to the letter and spirit of the Refugee Convention. The UK has an obligation to ensure access to asylum for those seeking protection. https://t.co/sCZEVcXGtm

We strongly oppose the UK's plans to export its asylum obligations by transferring asylum seekers and refugees to Rwanda. People fleeing war, conflict and persecution deserve compassion and empathy. They should not be traded like commodities and transferred abroad for processing

We urge border control + law enforcement officials, and social services, in neighboring countries and beyond, strengthen anti-trafficking efforts- from early detection and prevention, to support for survivors, ensuring perpetrators are brought to justice, and victims compensated. https://t.co/IVnQ9bYKh8

With women and children comprising 90% of all those fleeing Ukraine, the risks of human trafficking are heightened. While national authorities are actively leading on the response, we urge more be done to mitigate risks and prevent these violations. https://t.co/DbeYGnVM5M

We welcome the news that Canberra has joined nearly 300 cities across the world in the Cities #WithRefugees Campaign, sending a strong message of compassion, welcome and solidarity with refugees. https://t.co/PM74QIXJsN

Arbitrary displacement is often used as a strategy to take control of a territory and remove populations from it for various purposes. Today we are launching guidance to help states discharge their intl legal obligations to prevent + prohibit this practice https://t.co/QTwI2R6OZc

Countering racism requires each of us to mobilise against all forms and manifestations of racial discrimination and injustice, and to ensure a safe environment for those who speak up. Individually and collectively, we must push forward to #FightRacism and do better. https://t.co/viWc35VBK1

Asylum seekers need to be heard and protected. I have seen firsthand how the U.S. denies them that fundamental human right on health grounds under the Title 42 policy. We again call on the U.S. government to lift these restrictions swiftly. https://t.co/r5tXXkQc4L

As we mark #InternationalWomensDay, we urge governments, civil society and each of us and our communities to address gender inequality in all its forms and to support access to education, and promote the leadership, inclusion, and full participation of displaced women and girls. https://t.co/Wsd6KXbyq8
