Driven Out: Global Response to the Plight of Forcibly Displaced People

The Refugee and Forced Displacement Initiative (RAFDI) invites you to a roundtable discussion on forced migration with experts who will analyze the root causes, impacts, drivers and dynamics of human displacement and how the global system addresses the plight of refugees and other displaced people.
