Forced From Home Exhibit
2016-09-23 09:00 - 2016-09-27 17:00 | Battery Park City Esplanade, Battery Park City Esplanade New York, NY 10280 , New York, 10280, United States
See the refugee crisis through the eyes of aid workers
Forced From Home is an interactive, educational exhibition presented by Doctors Without Borders to raise public awareness about the experience of the world’s more than 65 million refugees and internally displaced people. With an experienced aid worker as your guide, learn about the many challenges people on the move encounter and the work Doctors Without Borders does to address their basic medical needs in a host of settings.
Presented by Doctors Without Borders, Forced From Home is a free interactive exhibition designed to raise public awareness of the world’s 60 million refugees. With an experienced Doctors Without Borders aid worker as your guide, you’ll see, hear, and interact with images, stories, and materials gathered from refugee camps, rescue missions, and emergency medical projects around the world.During the one hour tour you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those who have been forced from their homes, and the humanitarian solutions offered by Doctors Without Borders. Forced From Home is free, fully accessible, and open to the public. School field trips are welcome.
Why this theme?
Some 60 million people are currently fleeing conflict or persecution worldwide. Due to their race, religion, or nationality, these people’s homes are no longer safe places to live and their governments no longer provide them with protection.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) works around the world to provide refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) with everything they need from psychological care to lifesaving nutrition. MSF sets up hospitals in refugee camps, helps women give birth safely, vaccinates children to prevent epidemics, and provides access to safe drinking water.
Why an event like this?
While delivering emergency medical care across a wide range of countries and continents, Doctors Without Borders sees firsthand the horrific conditions and suffering that drive people to risk their lives for the chance of a better and safer future.
Forced From Home is designed to raise public awareness about the experience of refugees and internally displaced people, and provides MSF an opportunity to speak out on behalf of our many beneficiaries around the world who may not have a way to speak for themselves.
