UNHCR Urges Host Countries to Give Employment Opportunities to Refugees

UNHCR Urges Host Countries to Give Employment Opportunities to Refugeesimage

20 Dec 2019

The Mosaic Initiative team could not agree more with this call to action by the UN refugee agency. More specifically UNHCR calls for the following action from Europe:

“A truly common and workable asylum system inside the European Union” and “revitalised financial support for countries hosting forcibly displaced people outside of the EU”. These are ways that the European Union can ensure that the coming year is more robust for refugee protection. We agree that there needs to be creative and durable solutions for refugees to be able to access employment of equal quantity and quality to other Europeans. Diversity is strength. How can we support these calls?
