CENTERING REFUGEES IN THE GLOBAL REFUGEE RESPONSE
OUR PILLARS
Participation
We have a voice, we have agency. Let’s change the system together.
Pathways
Human beings will always be on the move; how we move depends on you.
Protection
Saving our lives is the top priority and it is consistent with effective management of borders.
Work
Access to decent work is the key for our empowerment and inclusion.
Integration & Inclusion
Integration is inclusion: it takes equal partners to shape the community we live in together.
OUR WORK
Global Refugee-led Network (GRN) was born to serve as a vehicle for greater refugee self-representation in all global decision-making: including the political, humanitarian and development sectors.
WHO WE ARE
Historically, refugees have been denied a voice in discussions about their present and future lives. The result is often shortsighted and ineffective policies. At a local and national level, some opportunities are available for refugee self-representation through participatory approaches.
However, as the discussion moves into regional and global dialogues, spaces shrink for people with direct experience to exert influence.

Our Network is spread over six (6) different regions in the world with the ultimate goal of helping and uniting the refugees.
