Refugee and asylum collection

According to the UN, 20 people are displaced by war, persecution or terror every minute. These people often are forced to make a dangerous journey to seek refuge in new countries, many of which have grown increasingly hostile to refugees and asylum seeker in recent years.

This collection of articles explores the impact of these hostilities and outlines ways that we can better support refugees and asylum seekers.

This collection is free to access for the rest of 2021
