A world that protects refugees is a world that is safer, more stable and more just. UNHCR stands with those forced to flee—today, tomorrow and for as long as they need us. This is our promise.

Women-led organizations are the backbone of the gender-based violence programming. Funding cuts are dismantling their ability to protect and empower survivors. Support women-led solutions. #16Days

Today UNHCR launches #GlobalAppeal2026 Next year, millions will continue to be forced from their homes around the 🌍 The generosity of donors and partners like @FCDOGovUK ensures UNHCR can remain present, protect lives and deliver solutions. 🔗

Violence doesn’t stop when funding does, it worsens. In 2025, drastic cuts left millions of refugee women and girls without life-saving gender-based services. Funding for gender-based violence programs must be prioritized. #16Days

Forcibly displaced women and girls are facing unthinkable violence — and many are left without care. Funding gaps mean fewer services, less protection and more lives in danger. Survivors cannot wait. #16Days

Yesterday in Costa Rica I listened to refugee women talk about turning pain into strength. Their stories convey the challenges of exile, but also their potential for change. When women gain access to rights, their leadership brings development to entire communities. #16Days

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 connected device is more than just a computer, more than a tablet, more than a phone. It’s school, a bank, a link to home, a window to the world. In Farchana, Chad, this is the reality for Sudanese refugees. Connectivity isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline.

UNHCR’s Afghanistan chief met FCDO, partners, parliamentarians and think tanks. He shared the realities for returnees amid overlapping crises. Our work - leading protection & driving sustainable solutions - remains vital. Partnership and flexible support are key to stability.

➡️ Here are three things to know about what’s going on in Ukraine.

Trigger Warning // children facing malnutrition The only malnutrition centre caring for Sudanese refugee children in Farchana, Chad could close its doors because of funding cuts. Babies—some just one day old—are fighting to survive. This is not okay. They need support now.

“If I let sadness win, I’d never make it through the week.” Between the challenges of protecting refugees and the weight of the funding crisis, Guelnoudji Ndjekounkosse, Senior Protection Officer in Dadaab, helps everyone around him stay hopeful. https://t.co/nFQZNFSxE5

Every child deserves safety, learning and hope. That includes displaced children. On #WorldChildrensDay, we stand with refugee and displaced children everywhere. Today, and every day, let’s make sure no child is left behind.

No part of Ukraine is safe. The recent aerial strikes on Ternopil, Lviv, and Ivano-Frankivsk are among the deadliest in western Ukraine since the war began.

“This is why asylum continues to be – as it was for centuries – a moral and legal obligation; the translation of one of humanity’s most ancient and shared acts of compassion.” The “One People Oration” I delivered at Westminster Abbey @wabbey yesterday👇🏻 https://t.co/jdWvxIBuwQ

Violence across Darfur and Kordofan in Sudan is escalating fast. Thousands are fleeing—others are trapped in danger. We can’t afford to look away.
