At second Global Refugee Forum, the UK announces 15 pledges to support refugees and the countries that host them.
An ambitious new package of support for refugees and the countries that host them is being launched by the UK at the United Nations Global Refugee Forum taking place in Geneva (13 December).
Whether in response to conflict or climate change, the number of people forced to flee their homes has risen by over 35 million since the first Global Refugee Forum in 2019. As a result, the need to tackle the root causes of displacement has never been greater. In doing so, not only will the UK be able to provide vital support to refugees and the countries that host them but also reduce the number of individuals attempting dangerous onward travel in a bid to enter the UK illegally.
To continue to drive forward the work initiated at the first Global Refugee Forum, as well as the commitments set out in the recently-published international development white paper, the UK is announcing 15 pledges to help people forced to flee their home, as well as the communities that host them.
As part of this, the UK is pledging greater support to ensure all forcibly displaced children have access to safe and high-quality education. This will give refugee children access to better jobs and a safer future, addressing a major driver of conflict and instability. To do this, the UK will provide £4 million to support partners working on refugee education. This includes a new partnership with the World Bank to give lower income host countries the financing and technical support they need to integrate refugee children in their national education systems.
A further £2 million will be made available to support the UN’s work to prevent and respond to gender-based violence faced by women and girls impacted by crises. Funding will support grassroots women’s rights organisations to prevent violence by empowering women and girls most at risk. It will also improve access to services for those affected and strengthen the implementation of laws and policies by ensuring institutions are effective, transparent and accountable.
The UK was a founding signatory of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention. In 2018, the UK was closely involved in establishing the Global Compact of Refugees, and the Global Refugee Forum (GRF). Held every 4 years, the GRF is the world’s largest gathering on refugees.
The UK’s 15 pledges include:
1.£4 million pledge to support inclusive refugee education: better educated children living through displacement and crises
2.Contribution of £2 million new funding to the UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women’s special window on crises
3.Support for meaningful refugee participation in policy-making and high-level meetings affecting displaced populations
4.Contribution to Ending Statelessness, multi-stakeholder pledge
