Our fourth article from our new series called Flipping the Narrative looks at the plight of refugees in Latin America. It looks at the consequences of refugees in Latin America being neglected by Global North-led migration narratives and why it’s time for change.
Refugees who remain in Latin America need their voices to be heard to make sure they receive protection and support, argues Laura, a Colombian refugee living in Ecuador.
Narratives around migration and displacement in the media often fail to amplify the voices of the people most affected and reflect the assumptions and agendas of those in the Global North. This needs to change.
That’s why our series called Flipping the Narrative puts the voices of refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants at the centre of conversations about the policies and events that shape their lives.
The aim is to:
- Place the voices of those most affected at the centre of the discourse
- Challenge audiences to think about how policy and humanitarian responses need to change to better reflect the realities of displacement and migration
- Critique, correct, and fill in the blind spots of Global North-led migration narratives

“We got away from the floods, but now we are caught by disease.” Pakistan’s flood waters have become an extraordinary breeding ground for mosquitoes spreading dengue and malaria.
The devastating floods in Pakistan caused an estimated $30-40 billion in economic damage, killed 1,700, displaced eight million, and submerged almost half the country’s farmland.
As world leaders address COP27 in Egypt to try to reinvigorate stalled global climate talks, survivors of Pakistan’s heaviest flooding in living memory are now facing a health crisis, with stagnating floodwaters fuelling a rise in malaria, dengue, and diarrhoea. Hunger has doubled.
Aid groups are struggling to cover the vast area impacted by Pakistan’s floods. The lack of support has proven deadly. Tap the link in our bio to read more about the health crisis engulfing Pakistan.

Despite risks and restrictions, Afghans are doing whatever they can to try and address the soaring needs within their communities, including education.
The dangers for women and girls pursuing an education in Afghanistan were made horrifically clear in a 30 September suicide attack on a school in western Kabul. Most of the casualties were young women and girls.
Attacks on education centres are all too common. Cut off from many jobs and schools in many provinces, women and girls in Afghanistan are also confronting a mental health crisis, not to mention risks to life in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.
But the return of the Taliban has brought new opportunities for Afghans trying to aid their fellow citizens. Tap the link in our bio to read how people are helping women and girls navigate the dangers of pursuing an education in Afghanistan.
