The latest episode of our podcast Stories Without Limits features KRAN Patron, @gavinesler. He reminds us that we're all refugees, looks at the difference between refugees/migrants, and asks for a more "realistic and grown up" debate on the subject: bit.ly/3PIincd

Hate speech and disinformation can spread quickly, both online & offline. We all have a part to play in stopping it in its tracks. Amplify facts, call out mis- and disinformation, and educate yourself & others to say #NoToHate. un.org/en/hate-speech

As #COP29 nears an end, we're proud of our Media Ambassador Hur and her (virtual) involvement. 💚 She ensured the voice of our young people - and all refugee youth - was heard. And that's so important. @UN @UNFCCC #ClimateAction #youthvoice

On #WorldChildrensDay our latest expert comment asks if we have failed on the pledges of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. And if so, what do we say to the children? ow.ly/nzt150UaPUY
