Refugees' Stories has a straightforward purpose: to share stories about the lives and experiences of refugees. We all hear a lot about refugees in the media, but we rarely have the opportunity to hear about their experiences, their lives, and get to know them as people rather than just as numbers. This project is an attempt to balance that, one story at a time.

To mark UNHCR's 70th anniversary, a new seven-part series revisits major upheavals that shaped the period through the eyes of displaced people and others caught up in events.
By UNHCR Staff

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, today launches a new podcast entitled Forced To Flee.

Over seven episodes narrated by broadcaster, author and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Anita Rani, Forced To Flee revisits some of the world's most tumultuous events over the past 70 years.

Forcibly displaced people, humanitarian workers and others tell their own extraordinary stories and offer unique perspectives on some of the most significant moments in recent history: from the Hungarian Uprising of 1956 to the fall-out from the end of the conflict in Viet Nam; from the genocide in Rwanda to the crisis in Syria.

**"There's a lot of tough choices to be made. Nobody, nobody chooses to be a refugee." -- Guled Mire, activist, policy maker and former refugee.

Using interviews, sound archive and music, Forced To Flee also examines the key issues facing humanitarian agencies and the international community as global displacement reaches record levels and continues to rise.

The podcast is being hosted on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and many other platforms, and is also available at www.unhcr.org/forced-to-flee-podcast.

The series was commissioned to mark the 70^th^ year of UNHCR and the 1951 Refugee Convention, but although the podcast is by its nature historical, the intention was always to put the voices of forcibly displaced people at the heart of the narrative.

*"I just know I was born moving, fleeing ... walking for miles and miles as if the journey would never end..." -- Mary Maker, refugee and UNHCR High-Profile Supporter.

"At a time when global human displacement is at record levels, it is vital to show the world that the consequences of persecution, conflict and human rights abuses are measured in real lives and suffered by real people," said Filippo Grandi, UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

"I hope that their stories show just how devastating it is to have to flee one's home. And I hope it increases solidarity for these inspiring women, children and men."

The climate crisis may not be the sole driver of human displacement but it is a contributing and growing factor, exacerbating the misery of already struggling communities. Abrahm Lustgarten, senior report at ProPublica, explains what that displacement might look like as the climate crisis continues to intensify:

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The climate crisis may not be the sole driver of human displacement but it is a contributing and growing factor, exacerbating the misery of already struggling communities. Abrahm Lustgarten, senior report at ProPublica, explains what that displacement might look like as the climate crisis continues to intensify:

"When you look and model out climate change into the next couple decades by 2070, that 1% of the planet that has historically been inhospitable expands to 20% of the planet's surface... And when you look at how many people presently live in that 20% area, it's about a third of the planet's population, which is about 2.5 billion people now, but by 2070 will be 3 billion people."

According to the UN Refugee Agency, climate change typically creates internal displacement within countries before it pushes people across national borders. And the World Bank Group's Groundswell Report presents a worst-case climate scenario, in which as many as 216 million people could be displaced globally within their own countries. Kayly Ober, Senior Advocate and Program Manager of the Climate Displacement Program at Refugees International, explains how that report can impact policy:

"What the scenario does is show you that if we put into place policies now that people on the move, one, could decrease. But, two, you'll be able to address that movement in more holistic or positive ways. And so, it's really hugely dependent on if we as a society actually come together and decide to address these problems with proactive policy."

In the United States, there is no system in place to effectively handle internal climate displacement. Colette Pichon Battle, Co-Executive Director at Taproot Earth, comments on how internally displaced persons were handled in the wake of Hurricane Katrina,

"We just don't have a deep knowledge about the rights of internally displaced persons in this country. This is an international law and international standard, but it applies globally. But because the US had never really seen this kind of disaster before, we never really thought about what it is to have people displaced within our own borders."

Battle also explains how the US is unique when it comes to adopting international law that could help: "We have not made strides as a nation to affirm or to advance a lot of these international laws and treaties that are in place. In fact, we are often the lone non-signatory, or us and a few other countries not signing onto treaties and rights that we want to recognize."

While much of this displacement is involuntary, many with means and foresight are able to move before things get really bad. Battle comments, "These are obviously people with wealth and privilege. And wealth and privilege isn't just money and whiteness, it's often access to information... What we're seeing, especially in South Louisiana and throughout the Gulf South are upper-middle-class white families moving to a place where they can be safe. So, folks from South Louisiana moving to places like Tennessee or even Kentucky or these other spaces keeping their homes in Louisiana or trying to sell them while the markets are still showing that this is a decent investment. But also selling them knowing that whoever purchases them whoever purchases these homes they will be stuck with a 30-year mortgage that once it's over will have real estate completely devalued, certainly lower, if not at full zero."
