You’ve got range, MIYAVI! From advocating for refugees at the Global #RefugeeForum to performing at the #NansenAward later that same day, Goodwill Ambassadors like MIYAVI are using their voice to make a difference 🤘
Unsung heroes no more.
Here's how we celebrated the 2023 #NansenAward winners in recognition of their amazing work supporting and empowering refugees.
Being a hero comes in many forms.
With this year’s #NansenAward for MENA, we celebrate and recognise Asia Al-Mashreqi.
She's helped provide assistance to two million people in Yemen, including refugees and internally displaced.
As a Rohingya woman, I dedicate to entire Rohingya girls and women this prestigious recognition with Nansen refugees regional award for Asia and Pacific 2023. Thank you UNHCR in Bangladesh for generous supports.

'This cape is a tribute to everyone #ForcedToFlee & those taking action to defend the rights of refugees.”
At the #NansenAward , Goodwill Ambassador MIYAVI wears a cloak representing over 1.1M people who signed our #HopeAwayFromHome petition to protect the right to seek asylum.
Congratulations to Władysław Grochowski and Lena Grochowska, who’ve won the #NansenAward for Europe.
In 2022, they opened the doors of their hotel chain and foundation to provide shelter and training to refugees from Ukraine. 👏 👏 👏
Who better to tell the stories of those in the world's largest refugee camp... than the refugees themselves?
They're photographers, storytellers and poets.
And these Rohingya refugees are now the #NansenAward winners for Asia and the Pacific.
These are the faces of unsung heroes who champion and protect the rights of refugees and forcibly displaced people around the world.
Join us in congratulating all the #NansenAward winners.
Supporting education.
Offering emergency shelter.
Defending human rights.
Telling refugee stories.
These unsung heroes are going above and beyond for people forced to flee their homes. #NansenAward
My voice represents one million Rohingya refugees surviving in the world largest refugees with the hope to “return” home ASAP.
