About GNRD
A global platform built and led by refugees with disabilities
The Global Network of Refugees with Disabilities (GNRD) is a refugee-led global platform that brings together organizations of refugees with disabilities from across the world. GNRD aims to empower refugee-led organizations to access advocacy opportunities at national, regional, and global levels, and to mobilize resources for their initiatives.
We amplify collective voices to ensure rights, needs, and priorities are recognized in global policy and humanitarian responses.
Nothing About Us Without Us: refugees with disabilities decide, lead, and represent.
