I highly recommend @JaivetEalom's book "Escape from Manus Prison", as well as seeing him speak (see below!). Jaivet brings a much-needed humanitarian voice to the oftentimes cold and statistics-driven refugee process.
Join us for a talk at @rwlibrary as our CEO delves behind the scenes of his memoir, revealing the resilience it takes to rebuild one's life after losing everything as a refugee. Discover how this experience paved the way for the Rohingya Centre. Register https://t.co/293O6jQl3I

One year ago the U.S. made a historic determination that the atrocities committed against the #Rohingya by the Burmese military constitute genocide. While an important step, we must now focus on protecting displaced Rohingya and those who remain in #Burma.

Recognition was an important step. Now we must focus on protecting the Rohingya who have been displaced and those who remain in Burma.
