A welcome change: Michael Bartlet on the Quaker Asylum and Refugee Network

‘Refugees are the human face of international injustice.’

by Michael Bartlet 1st March 2024

Refugees are the human face of international injustice. For two decades, the Quaker concern for this issue has been expressed through Quaker Asylum and Refugee Network (QARN). QARN does not run its own projects, but we network with many NGOs that are working on issues of migration and refugees. Many of our members are involved in activism, while others are more meditative, each according to their capacity. We offer support to Britain Yearly Meeting, and persist in reminding our Society of its minuted recognition that asylum is a concern.
