What it Takes to Succeed After Displacement

In 1942, nine year-old Krishnan Gurumurthy fled to India from Burma with his family. It was just after the Japanese invasion, and they had just missed the final ferries out of Rangoon. So his family travelled by a treacherous land route -- a 1,500 mile journey that took over 42 days. Years later, Krishnan moved from India to the U.K., worked as a radiologist, and had a three kids: Krishnan, Geeta, and Ravi. Today, Ravi interviews his father about his journey from Burma to India and how his experience of displacement shaped the rest of his life.

Climate Change: Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson on Climate Justice

The cruel irony of climate change is that it disproportionately impacts those who have contributed least to global warming—the world’s poorest and most marginalized groups. For Mary Robinson—former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, president of the Mary Robinson Foundation–Climate Justice, and the former, first female President of Ireland—rectifying these injustices is an essential part of the international effort to address climate change. This week, Ravi and Mary Robinson discuss the links between climate change-related displacement, human rights, and global equality.

Climate Change: How Local Communities Can Build Resilience to Climate Change

Although cross-border displacement affects local communities, international efforts to address it typically take place at the highest levels. How can affected communities make their voices heard in these intergovernmental negotiations? This week, Ravi and Grant sit down with Walter Kaelin, Envoy of the Chair at the Platform on Disaster Displacement and former Representative of the UN Secretary-General on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons. Kaelin has been at the forefront of these intergovernmental processes, and he discusses how they've sometimes generated solutions - and sometimes been detached from them.

Climate Change Displacement is Happening Now

An estimated 26 million people a year were internally displaced by disasters and hazards between 2008 and 2015. These numbers will just get worse as climate change exacerbates the effects of natural disasters, increasing both internal and cross-border displacement. That is why we are releasing a series of episodes this season focusing on climate change. This week we kick off our series with Jane McAdam, Scientia Professor of Law and Director of the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law at the University of New South Wales. McAdam explains why people displaced by climate change don’t have refugee status — and how we can use existing legal frameworks to ensure their protection.

Refugee Resettlement: Minister Ahmed Hussen Explains the Canadian Model

Throughout our series on refugee resettlement, we’ve referenced Canada’s system of private sponsorship as an overall success - but how does it actually work? And what can other countries learn from it as they build their own resettlement infrastructures? This week, Grant and Ravi get a close-up view of Canada’s resettlement system with Ahmed Hussen, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship for the Government of Canada. Minister Hussen provides insight into the history of resettlement in Canada and describes how private sponsorship has a political impact on the citizens who support refugees.

Refugee Resettlement: Perspectives from an IRC Caseworker

This week in our series on refugee resettlement, we take a closer look at the process of resettlement in the U.S. with Dauda Balubwila, a caseworker for the International Rescue Committee in Boise, Idaho.

Best podcast on forced migration

2019/10/27

Dianaelisabeth

This podcast is fabulously full of information and critical analysis of our global framework of responsibilities, human rights, and the factors that sustain ongoing mass atrocities in our world today. I learn something incredible every single time I listen. I am so thankful for both the hosts insights and personal stories that intersect these topics. The way they contrast on-the-ground experience with the historical or present political situation helps the listener better understand and think about the global refugee context we are encountered with today. THANK YOU.
Informative and Interesting

Weird tone to this thing

It’s immediately weird and jarring to listen to this. It’s a pretty somber issue. The theme music is so happy and upbeat. And the hosts sound like comedians (they don’t make jokes really but their attitude and way of speaking and very unserious). It’s unsettling.
