The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) Monday awarded Joy FM for its immense contribution towards the welfare of refugees.<\/p>\n
The presentation coincides with the celebration of World Refugee Day today.<\/p>\n
Public Relations Officer for the UNHCR Ewurabena Hucthful commended Joy FM for its support and commitment to human rights issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we have found in our experience working with Joy FM is that Joy FM exercises very extensive human right-based reporting that really looks at addressing the needs of refugees rather than sensationalizing any refugee stories but really looking at refugees under a human right framework and we really appreciate that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Multimedia brand has done extensive reports on how refugees taking up residence at various camps at borders in the country are coping with life where they are.<\/p>\n
The World Refugee Day is a day set aside to pay attention to those who through no fault of theirs have had to seek refuge in other countries other than their land of birth.<\/p>\n
Ghana is home to several refugees including Liberians, Ivorians and others from Sierra Leon.<\/p>\n
Although the government of Ghana provides a safe haven for refugees, some refugees Joy News has been speaking to say they feel removed from their natural habitat.<\/p>\n
One refugee from the Krisan camp in the Western region told Joy FM, \u201cbeing a refugee is something very terrible\u2026It is like losing your hope bets.\u201d<\/p>\n
Among other things the refugees are also calling for is access to education.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Ghana refugee board says it will soon open a new refugee camp at Agyeikrom near Komenda in the central region.<\/p>\n
Coordinator for the board Tetteh Padi told Joy News the board has had to do this because the Ampain refugee camp is full.<\/p>\n
