This document provides guidance for UNHCR staff and partners on protecting the rights of older persons in situations of forced displacement or statelessness.
When responding to the phases of forced displacement (flight, displacement, return, resettlement or integration), UNHCR staff and partners need to ensure that older persons’ rights to independence, participation, self-fulfilment, dignity, and care are met without discrimination. To do this, teams should develop a thorough understanding of both the needs and capacities of older persons in displaced populations.

To say and do the most supportive things for very distressed people; and
To NOT cause further harm by their actions.
The orientation provides many opportunities for...

Training needs assessment of specialists who provide care to people with substance use disorders in Ukraine. Adiktologie, 21 (4), 239–249. http://doi.org/10.35198/01-2021-004-0006
