Giving a Voice to Forced Migrants

IDP Voices was launched recently by the IDMC with the aim of giving the displaced a chance to tell their stories in their own words. Visitors can either read transcripts or listen to the testimonies of internally displaced Colombians to learn about the impact of forced migration on peoples' lives. Voices from other countries will be added in the near future.

In November 2006, ECRE unveiled the Refugee Stories site, which presents the narratives and experiences of people seeking asylum in 12 different European Union countries.

For other resources that give a voice to forced migrants, visit USCRI's Refugee Voices, the Refugee Community History Project, and the many other sites listed on ECRE's related links page.
