SYDNEY, April 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading multi-asset
broker, Vantage Markets (or Vantage), is pleased to announce
the ongoing impact of its contribution to support the protection
and resettlement of refugees and stateless people in Australia. This follows its US$100,000 donation to UNHCR, the UN Refugee
Agency in May 2023.
Australia's refugee landscape
presents complex challenges, with thousands seeking asylum and
protection. UNHCR's efforts, bolstered by Vantage's support, have
been instrumental in navigating these challenges and providing
critical assistance to these individuals, by advocating for
improved refugee and stateless protection, offering direct
counselling support, and facilitating durable solutions for
eligible refugees.
The impact of this partnership has been profound, touching the
lives of approximately 788 refugees, internally displaced persons
(IDPs), and returnees in 2023 alone. Of these, 119 individuals were
successfully resettled from Australia to New
Zealand, 39 found new homes in Canada and 19 individuals departed to
the United States.
"Our collaboration with UNHCR underscores our commitment to
creating a more inclusive and compassionate world," said
Jack Kelly, Head of Sales, Vantage
Australia. "We are humbled to see how our partnership has enabled
UNHCR to delicately navigate the complexities of refugee support,
ensuring that every step taken is a step towards a better
future."
These efforts have resulted in meaningful changes in the lives
of those in need. For instance, one woman from Iran, who had endured violence and social
isolation due to severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
found solace through UNHCR's support. With the funding support from
Vantage, UNHCR had sufficient resources to support her mental
health and complete the necessary interviews for resettlement to
New Zealand. Today, she awaits the
outcome of her application, hopeful for a brighter future.
Similarly, another Kurdish man, grappling with chronic PTSD and
a life-threatening health condition, demonstrated remarkable
resilience. Through UNHCR's holistic support, he stabilised his
mental health and was able to complete the extensive and detailed
interviews to start his resettlement process. Today, he remains
stable and hopeful for a new beginning.
"The completion of these activities has had a significant impact
on the well-being and quality of life of refugees and
asylum-seekers under UNHCR's protection," said a report compiled by
UNHCR Australia. "By empowering them and fostering a sense of
self-agency, these activities have offered a pathway for refugees
and asylum seekers to regain some control over their lives. More
importantly, this engagement has kept their options open for
eventual resettlement, offering hope and a tangible pathway towards
a brighter future."
"We're honoured to be supporting UNHCR's efforts — the team is
doing incredibly important work and we're proud to be part of their
journey," said Kelly. "We hope that our initiative encourages more
individuals and organisations to support UNHCR's ongoing efforts
and join in the mission of creating a more inclusive and
compassionate world."
