confronting the challenges of remote work for refugees | somos @ migration summit 2023 📺
on 19 april 2023, the entire somos team—khawar malik, areej khan, and ali ahmad ahmadi—joined elise arya chen from open door policy to discuss the unique challenges refugees face when pursuing remote work while "living in limbo."
the discussion explored the barriers to employment refugees face, such as lack of documentation, digital skills, and social resistance. we also explored how ngos, refugees, and employers can collaborate to create supportive pathways for fair and inclusive employment.
