Hi all! My name is Rahildaris Marchena, I'm a Venezuelan refugee and a digital artist by profession, I work as the Communications Specialist in the Global Refugee Youth Network and also in Tertiary Refugee Student Network to advocate for education and opportunities for refugee youth.
In the run-up to World Refugee Day on 20 June 2023, we welcome the voices and contributions of forcibly displaced young people to this forum. We invite you to share more about yourselves, your experiences, the challenges you have experienced as a result of forced displacement, as well as your hopes for the future.
Let us talk about the following issues.
- What are some of the challenges young refugees and internally displaced youth face?
- As young refugees, what are your hopes, aspirations and fears?
If you would like to ask any questions to the young refugee leaders, please also post them below.
To young refugee leaders please only share information and experiences that you are comfortable sharing.
