Two UNHCR blogs

UNHCR's Policy Development and Evaluation Service (PDES) has started a blog that focuses on "Witchcraft, Displacement and Human Rights." It shares news reports and related research studies on witchcraft allegations and their impact. The RSS feed is available here.

A second blog was started in tandem with the 2009 evaluation of UNHCR’s Age, Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming (AGDM) strategy. Called "It Begins with Me. It Begins with You. It Begins with Us. Thoughts and Actions Around Age, Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming," its purpose is described as follows: To "encourage thinking, dialogue and action around the challenges and rewards of AGDM. You’ll find the mission, methodology and the milestones of the ongoing AGDM evaluation as well as posts about films, audio, books, paintings, programs, partners, news, op-eds… anything that helps add to our greater understanding of AGDM." The RSS feed can be accessed here.

23 Things: Displacement Photos

Following on from my post on Flickr, I wanted to add that a Group Pool exists called "Portraits of Displacement." It is described as a place "where you can post portraits of people who have been displaced (either internally within their own country or refugees who had to flee their country into a third country) from their homes due to war, natural disaster or else." Only members of the pool can post photos to it. This is an easy way to collaboratively build a collection of relevant photographs.
