談「難民」太遙遠？難民只在螢幕上？雖然台灣沒有《難民法》，也沒有難民審查及保護機制，但這不代表台灣沒有需要幫助的被迫遷徙者，來自香港、西藏、烏克蘭的「類難民」，其實就在我們身邊。他們有人提供同胞心理支持，療癒看不見的傷；或在異鄉奔走，讓家鄉故事被更多人知道。我們無法阻止天災人禍，但仍可以成為在台流亡者腳下的基石，讓他們前進的路走得更穩更踏實。「台灣難民週」邀請你歡迎加入難民虛擬家園，聽聽他們的生命經驗分享。
Refugee issues might seem distant to Taiwanese people, just something that happens on a screen in a faraway land. Although the Taiwanese government hasn’t passed any refugee law that would enable a refugee screening or protection mechanism, it doesn’t mean that we don’t have any asylum seekers landing and living with us. De facto refugees from Hong Kong, Tibet, and Ukraine are among us. Some of them are offering support to their countrymen and healing their emotional trauma. Some are actively spreading awareness of the difficulties and stories of their hometown.
We can't stop natural or man-made disasters, but we still can provide a welcoming refuge by being more understanding of their situation and being their champion. So they can rebuild their lives before settling in or returning to a permanent home, wherever it might be. We cordially invite you to join our virtual refugee homeland display and explore the stories of these groups.

Candida Tong is a Hong Kong human rights defender, co-founder of Healing for HK, and deputy secretary-general of Flow HK Magazine. She has been helping asylum seekers from Hong Kong in Taiwan since 2019. Taiwan doesn’t have a refugee screening or protection mechanism, but Candida and her colleagues are trying to find a better way to support their clients. Advocating for an official asylum system, she focuses on rigid laws and physical and mental well-being. They hope that Taiwan can become a country that espouses human rights, respects the rule of law and welcomes those forcibly displaced.
