The global refugee protection system is failing refugees. Not only do we fail to provide adequate help, but we’ve created conditions where most refugees are unable to access refuge – they cannot access the minimum conditions of human dignity while they are refugees. The global response to Ukrainian refugee has shown that the international community is able to treat refugees in dignified ways, if there is the political will. Serena Parekh shows why it’s essential that we treat all refugees with dignity.
