Introduction
The number of refugees worldwide has reached a record high of nearly 26 million, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). This is an increase of 2.9 million from last year and 6.7 million from seven years ago.
With such a large population of displaced people, it’s no surprise that there are many online forums and support groups dedicated to helping refugees. Here are five of the most popular:
1. Refugee Forum
Refugee Forum is one of the largest online forums for refugees, with over 30,000 members from all over the world. The forum offers a safe space for refugees to share their experiences, seek advice, and connect with others who understand what they’re going through.
2. Refugee Talk
Refugee Talk is another large online forum for refugees, with over 20,000 members. The forum is moderated by a team of volunteers and offers a wide range of topics for discussion, including mental health, employment, and education.
3. Refugee Connect
Refugee Connect is a smaller forum with just over 1,000 members. The forum is focused on providing practical information and resources for refugees, such as where to find housing and how to access healthcare.
4. Refugee Voices
Refugee Voices is an online forum run by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR). The forum provides refugees with a platform to share their stories and experiences, as well as to connect with others from similar backgrounds.
5. Refugee Support
Refugee Support is a UK-based forum that offers practical information and advice for refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. The forum also provides a space for members to share their experiences and connect with others.
