Advocacy

In furtherance of its charitable objectives, RR strives to raise awareness on issues related to refugees and immigrants within the British landscape through work on policy and media. Because of our daily work with Syrian refugees, we serve as a critical source of information on the Syrian conflict for journalists and through our professional relationships with these journalists we work on the framework by which refugee crises, particularly in Syria, are discussed. RR also organises seminars and hosts academic conferences that draw in leading academics and community organisers for discussion and insight on often overlooked aspects of the Syrian conflict and other conflicts in the region.

BBC Radio Manchester on Aleppo

We provided the latest update on the situation from Aleppo to BBC Radio Manchester on 16 December. We highlighted the moral bankruptcy of the international system when we have to rejoice over forced evacuations, only because the alternative is genocide. We also highlighted the breaches of the ceasefire and the difficult situation still facing civilians in East Aleppo.
