This is my first Bluesky post.
But I am happy to be here to talk about the cause of a lifetime.
To shine a light on the experiences of those forced to flee, and of those whose exile ends.
To tell you about the work of courageous colleagues, at UNHCR and beyond.

🔴 Urgent: Stand with Refugees 🔴
Due to uncertainty in funding, @unhcr.org’s lifesaving aid for refugee families is at risk. UNHCR teams are working to keep vital support going, but we can’t do it alone.

During asylum processes, detention must be strictly justified by grounds clearly defined.
Even when such grounds exist, *alternatives* to detention must first & foremost be considered.
Check the EU Asylum Agency’s manual: euaa.europa.eu/sites/defaul...
Alternatives are often as effective.
