Nobody chooses to become a refugee. Often, they’re forced to flee due to circumstances outside their control. No matter why they flee or where they flee from, seeking asylum is a fundamental human right. All refugees must be able to find #HopeAwayFromHome .

Every refugee child has a dream. All they need is an opportunity. For Abdirahman, that dream is to become a pro football player and take care of his family.

Recent heavy rains in East Africa are taking a heavy toll, destroying homes and causing displacement. 📍These scenes are from Kenya's Dadaab refugee camps. The climate crisis is wreaking havoc and displaced people are once again bearing the brunt of it.

Rising food costs. Rising waters. Rising temperatures. Rising tensions. Rising displacement. The climate crisis is driving people from their homes and making life impossibly hard for those who have already fled.

Chefs 👨‍🍳 Teachers 👨‍🏫 Healthworkers 👩‍⚕️ Engineers 👩‍🏭 ... and so much more. Refugees have a lot to offer. They bring skills, talents, and a strong desire to contribute to their host communities. When refugees can work, everyone benefits.

Even when refugees are qualified and talented, they often lack the opportunities to find a job. Refugee labour mobility means that they can get the chance to work in a new country. It can mean hope for a better future for them and their families. #WorkersDay #MayDay

Whoever they may be. Wherever they may come from. Whenever they may be forced to flee. ALL refugees bring skills, expertise and experiences that enrich the socio-economic fabric of their host communities. #WorkersDay #MayDay
