The Ukrainian Red Cross Society and research organization IMPACT will present a longitudinal study during the event: "Current situation and prospects of refugees from Ukraine: from emergency response to return and (re)integration."
According to the Ministry of Reintegration, some 6.2 million Ukrainians are abroad, particularly in Europe, as a result of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Red Cross and IMPACT are organizing an event where the results of the study will be presented. This event will be a platform for state authorities, non-governmental and public organizations, experts specializing in socio-economic and humanitarian policy, to jointly discuss strategies and initiatives regarding refugees and their return.
Participants will discuss the following questions:
What problems do refugees face abroad and after returning to Ukraine?
How can the experience of returning refugees be integrated into decision-making processes in Ukraine?
What are the priorities and current programs of governmental and non-governmental organizations and stakeholders regarding refugee protection, return and (re)integration?
How do international/Ukrainian organizations and the government of Ukraine balance between the need to protect refugees abroad and the intentions of their return and reintegration?
