MYAN is hosting regular sector meetings to highlight the impact of COVID-19 on young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds, and those working with them. The focus of tomorrow's meeting is on good practice initiatives and solutions.
As requested by the sector, MYAN will be holding regular national sector meetings for the next few months. These will be important opportunities for ongoing national cross-sector networking and information-sharing as the COVID-19 landscape evolves. These sector meetings will continue to complement MYAN's engagement with young people around Australia and inform our policy and advocacy work.
Ahead of the meeting, we would like to share a few new resources:
Data Snapshot on Youth Settlement Trends 2018-2019
MYAN prepares these demographic data snapshots annually and this year's version is particularly important in the context of COVID-19 and the more disproportionate implications for newly arrived young people.
MYAN National Resources Library for COVID-19
This live resource has been compiled through sector networking and information sharing and will continue to be updated as we source new information in the evolving context of COVID-19.
Policy Update:
MYAN Policy Update
MYAN has prepared a brief communique about the impact of COVID-19 on young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds, including the work we are undertaking to ensure their rights and interests are upheld and their voices amplified in the current context.
