Resettlement in practice

Discussing with municipalities about resettlement in practice, f.i. housing and integration issues.

"In this video, my RRAG colleague Dilora shares her personal journey with resettlement. Resettlement saves lives. Many of us grow up understanding that freedom, safety, and human rights are hard-won, not easily granted. At RRAG, we remain deeply committed to ensuring the protection of refugees."
