Skyrocketing prices Natural disasters Worsening human rights in Afghanistan This is reality for 8.2M Afghans hosted in its neighbouring countries. With partners, we urge the international community to not shut the door on Afghans + those who host them. https://t.co/tIlzZoGzsq

I have been fortunate to engage with displaced and stateless women across Asia, who are working tirelessly for the progress and wellbeing of their families and communities. On #IWD2023, I want to thank you for your incredible contribution and for inspiring us all. https://t.co/MVxIh24xzy

Inspired speaking with Afghan women volunteers supporting education & health programs for women. Many were returnee refugees. Their commitment to give back to their communities needs robust support. https://t.co/XA8kubXktR

Great to see girl children learning a UNHCR built school in Jalalabad. Their elder sisters still await to an opportunity to attend secondary school an aspiration & right that should not be denied. https://t.co/bojODkNed1

We welcome positive steps by the @ausgov 🇦🇺 to give thousands of refugees on temporary protection visas the opportunity to stay permanently in the country. For many, this should signal the end of uncertainty + will enable them to rebuild their lives. https://t.co/SblQ4TtMCV

The 20th year of the #BaliProcess comes at a critical time; 2022 was one of the deadliest years on record for Rohingya at sea.
