Funds to support the protection and resettlement of refugees and stateless people in Australia<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Port Vila<\/strong>, 2 May 2023<\/strong>:<\/strong> Vantage<\/a>, an award-winning multi-asset broker for contracts for difference (CFD), has today announced a donation of USD100,000 to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to support its protection and resettlement of refugees and stateless people in Australia. Currently, Australia hosts almost 55,000 refugees and 90,000 asylum seekers (mainly from the Middle East or Asia), in which 8,000 are stateless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nai Jit Lam, Deputy Representative for UNHCR Australia, thanked Vantage for its contribution, saying, \u201cWe are grateful for Vantage\u2019s continuous support, which will help us facilitate solutions for refugees who have been in limbo and in need of a long-lasting solution for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The donation will be allocated towards several UNHCR\u2019s strategic priority areas, including the identification of refugees in need of resettlement, the provision of counselling and information sessions for refugees, registration and data management, resettlement interviews, and ensuring streamlined resettlement processing from identification to case referral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary objectives of the \u201cSupporting Refugees in Australia\u201d programme focus on securing durable solutions for eligible refugees who have been subject to Australia’s offshore processing arrangements, advocating with the government to improve refugee and stateless protection in Australia, and providing direct counselling support for refugees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Kelly, Head of Sales, Vantage<\/strong>, expressed his enthusiasm for the company’s partnership with UNHCR. “We\u2019re honoured to be supporting the UNHCR’s efforts \u2013 the team is doing incredibly important work and we\u2019re proud to be part of their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe recognise that, as a business, we\u2019re in a strong position to give back to our local communities and a key principle that guides us in our corporate ESG journey is striving to ensure no one gets left behind, including refugees who are seeking assistance,\u201d Kelly added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The donation is a significant step towards providing support and protection to refugees in Australia and follows a series of commitments made in line with Vantage\u2019s corporate ESG initiative that was formally launched in July 2022 and has become a staple of the company\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the inception of its ESG journey, Vantage has collaborated with popular influencer Supercar Blondie in an initiative to restore vital seagrass ecosystems and to raise awareness on climate change, as well as women empowerment during the week of the Extreme E race in Sardinia, Italy. Later that year, the company announced a partnership with UNESCO to help improve access to quality education for disadvantaged people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
