Malta/Global: Xenophobia, not refugees, are the threat – UNHCR

The need to urge people to look at refugees as humans is part of the campaign launched by the UNHCR. “There’s a big confusion about who the refugee is. Not just in Malta, but everywhere. The media plays an important role in passing on the right message, which is why we are concerned with the fear that can create xenophobic attitudes and manipulate realities,” spokesperson of the UNHCR Laura Boldrini said.
