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.
