The media chooses what you hear. And they are neglecting to tell you about some of the worst displacement crises in the world.
Neglected displacement crises
How many articles have you seen published about the world’s biggest displacement crisis in Sudan? Or the severe hunger crisis sweeping through the resource-rich Democratic Republic of the Congo? How often do you hear journalists reference the number of people who rely on aid in the Sahel?

We’re here to tell you about the crises no one is talking about.
