BU’s New Center on Forced Displacement Will Address the Global Refugee Crisis
“As the global refugee crisis worsens, crossing borders has been met with increasing hostility and stigma, often putting displaced people in perilous positions, after already difficult journeys. (Last month, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis transported about 50 migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard under false pretenses, raising legal concerns. The International Rescue Committee has called on the US and European countries to resettle more people as the number of people displaced has grown.)

They’re the founders of the new, University-wide Center on Forced Displacement (CFD), with the mission to improve the lives of and give voice to displaced people around the world.”
