The World Mobilised: The Jesuit Response to Refugees by Mark Raper SJ
The world of forced displacement has changed dramatically since 1980. The number of forcibly displaced persons worldwide has increased from 16 to 45 million. Yet, there are fewer places for refugees to go.
On 14 November 1980 – in a world dominated by ideology and repression – Jesuits moved to meet the humanitarian and education needs of the Vietnamese boat people, and JRS was born. As part of the JRS Ireland 30th anniversary celebration the DEVAS report will be launched by Fr. John Dardis SJ, President of the Conference of European Jesuit Provincials. Download the DEVAS report from here.
