RT @ThomasWagEESC: It’s a scandal, that today 79 Million children are trapped in hazardous work. They're not able to go to school or to play with their friends. At least the worst forms of #childlabour have to be inherited in the scope of the regulation of a forced labour product ban. @WorkersEESC https://t.co/WmUbdB0DwK

This is the month to honor those who flee their countries, running away from war and famine, seeking a better future for their families.

Remember, YOU can also be a #refugee.

RECAP 👇🏾Spanish refugee🇪🇸 crisis : ?s=20
RT @WorkersEESC: 1/9 The Spanish refugee crisis that followed the civil war (1936-1939) was a tragic chapter in history but also an example of international solidarity. Almost half a million Spaniards were forced to flee their homes, seeking safety…

8/8: Let us not forget the human faces behind the statistics and headlines. Each refugee has a unique story, dreams, and hopes for a better future. Together, we can work towards a world that embraces compassion, empathy, and opens doors for those seeking refuge. #WelcomeRefugees

7 /8: Post-War Resettlement: After the war, efforts were made to facilitate the return of refugees to their pre-war homes. However, the scale of destruction and displacement meant that many individuals had no homes or communities to return to.

6/8 Other consequence: Evacuation and internal displacement. As the war broke out, the Soviet government implemented large-scale evacuations to protect civilians from the advancing German forces. Millions of people, including women, children, and the elderly, were relocated.

5/8 Over 900 Jewish passengers, including men, women, and children, were forced to return to Europe, where many of them fell victim to the Holocaust. The tragic fate of MS St. Louis highlights the ABSURD consequences of closed borders and the need for compassion and humanity

4/8: The ⛴️MS St. Louis, was a tragic chapter in history. It was a German ocean liner that set sail in 1939 carrying Jewish refugees seeking asylum from Nazi persecution. Despite their desperate pleas, the ship was denied entry by multiple countries, including the US and Cuba.

3/8: Countries like the US, Great Britain, and other Allied powers played a significant role in providing sanctuary to those fleeing the war and persecution. However, restrictive immigration policies and bureaucratic hurdles often hindered their efforts. #RefugeesWelcome

2/8: The rise of Nazi Germany and its aggression led to general persecution, forcing many individuals, particularly Jews (around 300.000), to escape their homelands. Many embarked on difficult journeys, facing numerous obstacles in their search for refuge and protection. #WW2

📢⚠️As 20.06 is the #DayoftheRefugee, @WorkersEESC has decided to raise awareness of several refugee crises suffered where Europeans have been the ones leaving their country.

We need empathy to face and deal with other refugee crises worldwide.

9/9 This is the month to honor those who flee their countries, running away from war and famine, seeking a better future for their families.

Thank you, Juan, Gloria, Prudencio,and all other anonymous brave people who fled by land or sea.

And remember, we can also be #refugees.

8/9 Many Spanish refugees remained displaced for years, unable to return home. Their longing for their homeland and the pain of separation persisted, creating a sense of nostalgia Some of them only went back after the end of the dictatorship, 40 years later. Others did not.

7/9 France: The most committed country and the nearest to Spain. It hosted an estimated 450,000 to 500,000 Spanish refugees. They were accommodated in makeshift camps and provided with humanitarian assistance, medical care, and education.

6/9 Like the one before mentioned, many other "Casas españolas" were opened in order to tackle the trauma, the displacement, and the need to reestablish their sense of belonging and to defend their interests.
@LHGVenezuela is another example which survives until these days.

5/9 Venezuela was another of the countries which open its borders to Spanish Refugees. It is calculated that at least 30.000 Spanish refugees seek asylum in Venezuela. Especially from the Canary Islands and Galicia because of the famine of the 50s.
@hcanariov was a result of this
