Forced Migration Online: Blog

A new community blog, launched in June 2010, highlights the voices of asylum seekers in Hong Kong.

“Seeking Refuge” is a community website where asylum seekers in Hong Kong can make their voices heard. All of the posts on Seeking Refuge are written by asylum seekers themselves. It is also a place where the general public can learn first-hand about the experiences and lives of asylum seekers residing in Hong Kong.

There are some 7,000 recognized asylum seekers in Hong Kong, mostly from South Asia or Africa. This website allows them to tell their stories.

The Forced Migration Online team has launched this Blog so that we can better inform users about our plans for FMO and flag current issues we think interesting, important and perhaps worthy of wider discussion. Most importantly, we are seeking your participation.

The FMO Blog provides an opportunity for users to comment upon content and technical aspects of the FMO portal. We also welcome suggestions about resources you think we should include and any other comments on how FMO might be improved.

Members of the FMO team will regularly post messages on specific issues. But first we would like to welcome you and invite you to make any general comments or suggestions that you might have about FMO. Thanks!
