Racial Disparities in Refugee Treatment
World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2022May 25, 2022 at 18:30 - 20:00 CEST
Europe has responded to Ukrainian refugees with generosity and acceptance. While heart-warming, this has drawn comparisons with the more tepid response to previous waves of migration, notably from the Middle East and North Africa.
Does geography and regional affinity play a role in this response, and how do we ensure all people fleeing conflict are treated with dignity?
