The most important voices in humanitarian response are rarely heard at the highest levels.

This year at #UNGA, local humanitarians joined us.

Not as guests. As leaders.

See why their work is irreplaceable and why the world should take note.

Run.

Refugees deserve a voice in the decisions that shape their lives.

At #UNGA, our Goodwill Ambassador Gugu Mbatha-Raw helped bring the stories and perspectives of refugees into the conversation.

Because their experiences matter. Their voices deserved to be heard.

Education can unlock incredible opportunities. Just ask our Goodwill Ambassador Mary Maker.

She grew up as a refugee in Kakuma, Kenya and recently attended #UNGA in New York to share a clear message.

Refugees need more than words.

They need action.

Minister Anand at the UN General Assembly High-Level Week #UNGA #CanadaAtUN

New clip: the UN General Assembly closed with the Secretary-General's final address: wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, a rapidly developing AI race, climate problems, and a UN "struggling to prove it can actually do something." Manny: Don't hold your breath. #PardonThePolitics #UNGA

At #UNGA, Goodwill Ambassador Gugu Mbatha-Raw remembered brave refugee women she met at the Chad-Sudan border.

Ordinary people who had lost loved ones, homes and safety but held onto their hopes for the future.

For them and millions of others, the refugee convention is a lifeline.

On Day 5(00) of #UNGA, the focus has been on the detail of the ten asks we’ve set out for this week. Plus making the case through the media for why the public should back humanitarians. Working together across humanitarian leadership. And drawing strength from great ancestors.
