This week on Tuesday 20th June, Aotearoa celebrated World Refugee Day, a world wide commemoration of the forced immigrant journey. 

On the same day the government anounced that for the fist time Aotearoa has met its refugee quota of 1500 people that was originally set in 2020 but was not reached due to covid.

This also comes at a time when NGOs and volunteers have raised concerns about the efficiency and resourcing of the ressetlement process.
