At the @IDRC_CRDI panel discussion yesterday, speakers from IDRC-supported work compared and contrasted what mature versus diffused and new civic spaces look like, drawing on their work with indigenous women in Thailand, Myanmar's diaspora, and displaced migrants in the region.

Together, we explored innovative approaches to empowering communities! 💪🌏 #ParalegalsExchange #RegionalExchange #GrassrootsJusticeNetwork #GJN #AsylumAccessThailand #AAT

On #worldrefugeeday2024, @AITAsia Prof. Paula Banerjee @IDRC_CRDI Chair on forced #displacement organized this June 26 workshop with @asylumaccess & @JesuitRefugee. In the region, most #refugees still come from #Myanmar, while #Cambodia and the #Philippines continue to be the only #ASEAN signatories to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees!

Asylum Access Thailand (#AAT) held training on the National Screening Mechanism (#NSM) for staff, #paralegals, and the Refugee-Led Network on August 10. This session empowered participants to better support refugees needing protection in Thailand. #RefugeeLedNetwork

Concerns were raised about “How the existing legal framework still criminalizes irregular migration by requiring NSM applicants to be prosecuted for immigration charges before they are eligible to apply for protection from refoulement."

Prima Sukmanop, AAT Legal Officer, has closely followed the development of the new National Screening Mechanism (#NSM). She shared her insights at the event "Thailand's New NSM and the Future of Refugee Protection" #ระเบียบคัดกรองคนต่างด้าวฯ #ผู้ลี้ภัยในเมือง #ผู้แสวงหาที่พักพิง

Together, we're creating a space where everyone's story and expression matter. 🌟🎨

Their feedback was truly inspiring. 📣 Here's what they had to say about their experience: 💬🎨 "I was able to express my past, present, and future self through my art. It made me feel comfortable as I didn't have to verbally express myself."

🎨✨ We believe in the power of art to heal and connect. Asylum Access Thailand held the second heartwarming Art Therapy #workshop on October 28th for the #refugees from the Sri Lankan community in Bangkok. 🖌️🌟 #ArtHeals #RefugeeSupport #MentalHealthMatters #AsylumAccessThailand
