Today is a day that calls for extra solidarity. This day draws attention to people who have been forced to flee their homes. As a healthcare organisation, we reflect on the millions of people worldwide who have been forced to leave their homes due to a variety of harrowing circumstances. Every day, we provide care and support to refugees and see first-hand the impact of displacement on mental health. That is why, today in particular, we are calling for attention, understanding and solidarity for refugees in our society. This is especially important at the present time, when polarisation in the Netherlands is becoming an increasingly significant issue.
Continue to take an interest in others, do not judge without knowing the context, and do not lose sight of human dignity.
