Global Humanitarian Overview 2025 Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UN. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN. OCHA) A snapshot of the global trends driving increased humanitarian needs in 2025, analysis from 2024 and an overview of where the system is delivering better to help those affected by crises. The Global Humanitarian Overview (GHO) is the world’s most comprehensive, authoritative and evidence-based assessment of humanitarian need. Through plans that prioritize those most in need, it aims to fight hunger, killer diseases, gender-based violence and displacement. The GHO 2025 presents an analysis of global crises and needs and the humanitarian plans to address them. In 2025, humanitarian partners are appealing for over US$47 billion to assist nearly 190 million people facing life-threatening and urgent needs across 72 countries. The report looks at response trends to strengthen, such as localization, cash, accountability and the changes needed to deliver aid effectively: security and funding. The GHO presents a collective picture of humanitarians' achievements and, conversely, what happens when humanitarians are unable to deliver aid.

On This Journey, No One Cares If You Live or Die: Abuse, Protection, and Justice Along Routes Between East and West Africa and Africa’s Mediterranean Coast Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UN. Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) | Mixed Migration Centre This report draws on data collected by the Mixed Migration Centre’s 4Mi monitors along the route to map the places where refugees interviewed in 2018 and 2019 most frequently reported deaths, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), physical violence, and kidnappings occurred. It illustrates how refugees and migrants using the route face a series of risks including as they cross into eastern Sudan, and when crossing the Sahara Desert, and then again in multiple places in Libya. Similarly, those traveling through West Africa reported multiple incidents of physical violence, SGBV, as well as deaths at various points. Refugees and migrants have reported being subjected to brutal violence, including being burnt with hot oil, melted plastic, or heated metal objects, being electrocuted, tied in stress positions, and experiencing and witnessing repeated sexual violence, often in the context of ransom demands. UNHCR staff and partners continue to witness the severe impact these abuses have had on the mental health of many men, women, and children.

(Lifelong Learning Policy Brief; 15) Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) This policy brief provides insights regarding four principal areas of action for policy-makers and other key stakeholders who seek to build the recognition, validation and accreditation (RVA) systems that cater to the needs of migrants and refugees as distinct groups. It highlights the importance of developing an integrated national policy approach that supports sustainable implementation of RVA practices inclusive of newcomers from different walks of life. It also looks at establishing a clear, shared vision for a comprehensive RVA system that is inclusive of both migrants and refugees, reflected in key building blocks. It explores the creation of quality processes to assess the skills, competencies and potential of individuals from diverse backgrounds accurately and professionally, through flexible, accessible practices. Finally, it evaluates how RVA outreach and counselling mechanisms that cater to both migrants and refugees can be incorporated. 
다문화수용성이 청소년의 난민 태도에 미치는 영향 (시민교육연구; Vol. 56, No. 2) Year of publication: 2024 Author: 홍승표 Corporate author: 한국사회과교육학회 본 연구의 목적은 다문화수용성이 청소년의 난민에 대한 태도에 미치는 차별적 영향력을 규명하고 교육적 시사점을 도출하는 것이다. 이를 위해 여성가족부가 수행한 ‘2021년 국민 다문화수용성 조사’의 청소년 자료를 활용하여 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 다문화수용성의 하위요인 가운데 다양성 차원에서 문화 개방성은 정적인 효과를 나타낸 반면, 고정관념 및 차별은 부적인 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 둘째, 관계성 차원에서는 일방적 동화기대 요인이 청소년의 난민에 대한 태도에 부적인 효과를 나타냈다. 셋째, 보편성 차원에서 세계시민 행동의지는 정적인 효과를 나타냈지만 이중적 평가는 부적인 효과를 확인하였다. 본 연구는 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 청소년의 난민 태도 개선을 위한 교육적 시사점을 도출하였다. 첫째, 이주민과 구별되는 난민의 특성에 대한 교육의 필요성을 제안하였다. 둘째, 수업에서 난민 문제를 다룰 때는 난민의 다양한 상황과 목소리를 학생들이 심층적으로 이해하고 공감할 수 있는 환경 조성이 필요하다. 셋째, 시민교육과 사회과교육에서는 난민 문제와 관련한 윤리적, 사회적 쟁점을 토론하고 이를 통해 학생들이 비판적 사고와 사회적 공감 능력을 육성할 수 있도록 지도해야 한다. 이는 시민교육과 사회과에서 적극적으로 수행할 수 있을 것이다.
