2025 was a brutal year of hard choices. What hasn't changed is our commitment to protection. It's at the heart of everything we do. We appeal to donors and partners for sustained, predictable, flexible support to deliver on our mandate in 2026. https://t.co/gw1Nr36alG

As UNHCR prepares to turn 75 honored to have joined the discussion with members of the Global Academic Interdisciplinary Network (GAIN) to deliver stronger refugee protection across the globe through combined academic research and practical action

Safety should not be optional. In 2025, more than 2 million people, in particular refugee women & girls, lost access to lifesaving support due to funding shortfalls. We must do more to protect forcibly displaced & stateless women and girls from gender based violence. #16Days

A landmark for Africa. The launch of the @_AfricanUnion Protocol on the Right to a Nationality and the Eradication of Statelessness brings us closer to a continent where everyone belongs. UNHCR stands ready to support its implementation.

In Egypt, I met with the Government, partners and Sudanese refugees who fled the war in Sudan. Appreciate Egypt’s generosity in hosting the largest number of refugees from this crisis. Yet the Sudan response is only 27% funded. No country can face these challenges alone.

7 years after the Global Compact on Refugees called for statistical inclusion of #refugees, I joined @EGRISStats All Members Meeting ahead of the #GRF Progress Review Humbled to see such impressive progress made since 2020, including by Iraq, Somalia, Nigeria, Colombia & Poland

Privileged to meet dynamic women leaders who play critical roles in the Government of Poland to protect and empower refugees forced to flee war & persecution. Thank you, Minister @KotulaKat and Minister @AGajewska, for your strong collaboration with UNHCR. #StrongerTogether

Heureuse d’avoir pris la parole à la 4e Conférence ministérielle sur les politiques étrangères féministes à Paris Pour les femmes/filles déplacées de force et en situation d’apatridie, un multilatéralisme féministe — #avecelles — est essentiel à leur protection et autonomisation

Online harms have real-world impacts. At #GPW25, together with our partners @SwissPeaceHR, @TogetherSouth,🇨🇴 & others, we explored how peacebuilding & the Global #RefugeeCompact can counter hate speech & support safe, dignified returns. Watch here:

I returned from 🇬🇷 where I met with refugees, local authorities and partners working hard to protect people forced to flee. From Crete to Athens, I saw resilience, compassion and the urgent need to keep life-changing support going. We must not let these efforts fade.

Honored to meet with the Holy See to continue to strengthen our collaboration in support of refugees and to foster global understanding and tolerance.

L’éducation peut transformer la vie des jeunes réfugiés. La connectivité et l’IA éthique sont cruciales pour offrir à chaque jeune des opportunités d’apprentissage, où qu’il soit. #DigitalLearningWeek https://t.co/HLnVrjt44s

Refugee voices are at the heart of our protection work. UNHCR supports safe and voluntary returns of refugees from Tanzania to Burundi, and global support is crucial for reintegration and rebuilding lives. https://t.co/DhR7U2VBw9

Day 3 in 🇹🇿: Met w/the Kigoma Regional Commissioner and witnessed in Nyarugusu Camp how UNHCR staff & partners receive 🇨🇩new arrivals & process 🇧🇮refugees for return. Appreciated the candid discussions with Burundian & Congolese refugee leaders on services & solutions.

For refugee children, school is more than a classroom – it shields them from child labour, early marriage and exploitation. Education is a lifeline and the best investment in safety and dignity. But funding cuts put it at risk. https://t.co/F9JHJmdG0S

Started my mission in Tanzania with a productive meeting with the Deputy Permanent Secretary @WizaraMNN . We discussed pathways to address the protracted refugee situation in the country. Honoured to be here and collaborate on lasting solutions for refugees.

A devastating earthquake has struck eastern Afghanistan. Hundreds are dead, thousands left homeless and families exposed to danger. UNHCR teams are providing shelter, protection and life-saving aid. Urgent support is needed now. https://t.co/29scZcUq1l

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we stand with those defending the rights and safety of people forced to flee. Protection is not optional, it’s life-saving. And humanitarians must be free and safe to do this work.

Protection is not optional. As funding for humanitarian aid plummets, millions forced to flee face greater risks of violence, exploitation and abuse. Without urgent support, their safety and dignity is on the line. https://t.co/XpJ7bRS2OC

Delighted to sign an MoU to strengthen UNHCR partnership with the Inter Parliamentary Union in light of pledges made at GRF 2023. UNHCR is grateful to IPU SG’s commitment to continue working with UNHCR on refugee protection and stepping up efforts to end statelessness.
