About US
Inspiring and empowering people to create a better tomorrow, together.
Forced To Flee is a global non-profit organisation, advocating for refugees around the world, founded in 2018 because we believe we can do better. Led and run by youth, we are committed to empowering young people across the world to lead and get involved in conversations around migration because this is a society-wide effort.
Our work bridges rigorous research, compelling communications, and bold advocacy to amplify the realities of displaced communities and influence policy. We are transitioning from a youth project into a recognized research and advocacy hub, building institutional credibility and centering Global South–led knowledge creation.
OUR VISION
We aim to create a world where actors across the world - from policymakers to community leaders - are working in partnership to protect and welcome refugees.
OUR MISSION
We do this by working with governments, international organisations (specifically UN agencies), civil society, and communities to not only advance policy but transform practises and mindsets.
OUR PROJECTS
We focus on amplifying unheard voices, exposing the growing diversity of causes driving forced migration and, crucially, advocating for their resolution.
Raise Awareness, Find Solutions
Our research investigates the changing drivers of forced migration. Taking a regional focus, our teams uncover the unique and untold experiences of displaced people local to their context. Whilst we believe in raising awareness, we are committed to providing actionable solutions - driving change.
Raise Awareness, Implement Solutions
We advocate on national, regional and global stages to share the findings of our research, support its implementation, and encourage youth participation in refugee advocacy. Through partnerships with likeminded organisations across the world, running campaigns, raising awareness and empowering grassroots transformation, we are driven by the principle of converting policy into reality.
Creating the Conditions for Change
Recognising the challenge that extreme, anti-immigrant rhetoric poses to advancing refugee welfare, we are working to shift the narrative around how we think and talk about immigrants.
