Women’s Refugee Commission at the Global Refugee Forum 2019

The Women’s Refugee Commission is proudly co-sponsoring events at the Global Refugee Forum 2019.

The Forum will bring together the international community to announce bold, new measures to ease pressures on host countries; enhance refugee self-reliance; expand access to third-country solutions; and support conditions in countries of origin for return in safety and dignity.

Join the conversation on Twitter @wrcommission, using the hashtag #RefugeeForum.
