Naomi Steer is the Founding Director of UNHCR Australia. UNHCR raises funds to support international humanitarian work. We talk to Naomi about what lead her to UNHCR, the work that is done by her teams at ground level. Keep in mind, Naomi's team are the ones left behind when everyone else has left - they are incredibly brave humans. Naomi shares her experience in refugee camps and her thoughts on the Australian refugee program. There are over 82.4M people who are displaced in the world (UNCHR Global Stats 2020) and the number of people forcibly displaced around the world has doubled in the past decade and if this trend continues this number will hit 100M. The worlds worst affected is Syria with 13.5M displaced, Colombia has 8.3M, 80%  of those displaced in Afghanistan are women and children.  Displacement of humans is the cause of our time with conflict being the key reason why people are forced from their homes. The incredible work that the teams with UNHCR do needs your support. You can donate via the UNCHR website -www.unrefugees.org.auNaomi Steer is an incredible woman who has spent her life in service of others and all I can say is thank you to her and the UNCHR team.
