After departing the UK following the two day events commemorating the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, His Majesty accompanied by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Hussein left for New York City, NY State USA to attend the 74th edition of United Nations General Assembly week

Like always during the UNGA week, Her Majesty attends various meetings and events surrounding this week and today September 20th, 2022, she attended the two- day event Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) 2022 meeting.

At today's opening event, Her Majesty sat down with Former US Secretary of State and First Lady who is also the founding patron of the Clinton Global Initiative, Hillary Clinton and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi where she urged Global Cooperation to intergrate refugees.

The Queen underscored the need for coordinated global action in helping the world’s expanding refugee population integrate into host communities, warning that there will be more refugee crises in the future.

Bringing highlights to Jordan’s experience as a refugee host nation, Her Majesty explained to the panel that Jordan’s government and leadership are “still as committed to supporting and integrating refugees into our society” as evident by the tens of thousands of work permits issued to Syrians lately.

Moderated by Secretary Clinton, the panel discussion aimed to explore means of fostering a sense of community and belonging in an increasingly unstable world, particularly in light of the ever-growing population of refugees and displaced people.

Her Majesty also underlined the positive sentiments Jordanian people have towards refugees. Citing a recent UNHCR survey which showed that “96% of Jordanians remained sympathetic to the plight of refugees” only three months ago, the Queen noted that the figure says a lot about “the value system in Jordan” where both government and people refuse to turn against or away from people who are seeking shelter and protection.

“It shows you that people inherently are good and they want to do the right thing if nobody is telling them to be fearful of the other,” she continued.

Stressing the crucial role Jordan’s open-arms policy plays in facilitating refugees’ social integration into the country, Her Majesty said that “ultimately home is not a place, it is people, and it’s very difficult to feel at home in a place where you feel unwelcome or unwanted.”

She went on to point out that a refugee crisis is “not just a short term humanitarian crisis,” but rather a “crisis of human development” that requires long-term solutions focusing on “growth, building resilience, sustainability,” and job creation.

Her Majesty also underlined that responsibility towards global refugees “is an obligation, not an option,” noting that while reform efforts in addressing the crisis necessitate merging humanitarian and development work, refugee response plans “are chronically underfunded all over the world” and “resettlement targets are insufficiently low.”

Elaborating on the global community’s weak refugee resettlement efforts, Her Majesty said that only a handful of high-income nations have carried their weight, while “amongst the vast majority, it's been a race to the bottom with the numbers they are willing to let in.”

The Queen also observed that as the world is prone to face recurring crises, “forced displacement is going to be an annual norm,” especially with World Bank predictions pointing to the possibility of climate refugees alone reaching over 200 million by 2050.

Sharing her thoughts on the recent Ukrainian refugee crisis, Her Majesty contrasted the world’s response to this crisis with its response to refugee crises of the past. “The disparity in the tone, generosity, and urgency that has been extended in welcoming the Ukrainian refugees compared to refugees from other areas of the world like Syria, or Sudan, or Myanmar, is quite striking,” she observed.

Her Majesty also shed light on the increased strain on humanitarian assistance resulting from the Ukrainian refugee crisis, condemning how “refugees from other parts of the world have really dropped down the priority list” and insisting that “humanity cannot be applied selectively.”

Highlighting the importance of leadership when it comes to addressing refugee crises, Her Majesty acknowledged the difficulty leaders face in balancing their “domestic agenda” with “global humanitarian obligations,” while denouncing the normalization of “fear of the other,” as an off-limits solution to shirk off responsibility towards refugees.

She argued that while it’s tempting for leaders to “use populist rhetoric and stoke the fear and anger towards the other, and keep people huddled up fearful of a dangerous world,” this approach is not capable of resolving problems. “That simplistic narrative of anger is easier than coming up with constructive solutions,” she explained.

Her Majesty concluded by saying that “confident, courageous, compassionate, and most importantly, honest” leadership is needed to properly integrate refugees into any society, adding, “if integrated properly, refugees can actually be net contributors” to their host communities.

Held alongside the 77th United Nations General Assembly Week, The Clinton Global Initiative was launched by U.S. President Bill Clinton in 2005 to turn ideas into action by creating a space where leaders across sectors could publicly commit to form partnerships and take action together. CGI brings together established and emerging global leaders to create and implement solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. This year’s meeting was the first reconvention since 2016.

On Tuesday November 16th, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah accompanied Her Royal Highness Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, on a visit to the Queen Rania Family and Child Center (QRFCC) in Jabal Al Nasr in east Amman, where the Queen introduced the Duchess to the center's various programs aimed at empowering women and children.

The Duchess is currently accompanying her husband, His Royal Highness Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, on a trip to Jordan to commemorate Jordan's centennial as well as 100 years of bilateral friendship between the United Kingdom and Jordan. The visit is the couple's first major overseas tour since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020.

The Jordan River Foundation (JRF) established the QRFCC in 2005 as part of the foundation's Child Safety Program, which promotes child protection and well-being. The community-based center, located in the Jabal Al Nasr neighborhood, provides holistic services to combat child abuse and strengthen the family unit.

JRF Director General Enaam Barrishi greeted Her Majesty and Her Royal Highness and led them on a tour of the center's programs and interventions for children, youth, and women.

Their first stop was at "Beit Sgheer," or "My Little Home," a simulated home environment that uses hands-on activities to teach children and parents the fundamentals of healthy home dynamics, positive childcare practices, and child abuse prevention strategies.

Queen Rania and Duchess Camilla watched as young children moved between the six rooms of the "Little Home," each station performing a different interactive activity. The simulation encourages children to discover their purpose and potential, as well as to develop a sense of agency and independent decision-making skills.

The Queen and Duchess then went to the QRFCC's Creative Space, where they joined a group of adolescent girls for a session on self-esteem and assertiveness. The Creative Space hosts a variety of basic life skills and expressive art workshops for both girls and boys between the ages of 12 and 17.

The Queen and Duchess stopped by a small exhibition of Jordan River Design handicrafts in the center's courtyard, where they met a group of the women artisans who handcrafted the items as part of JRF's Social Enterprises project. Among the items on display were several from a collection launched in collaboration with multinational furniture company IKEA, which currently sells the Jordanian collection in a number of its stores around the world.

The women described how the foundation's employment and training programs changed their lives by allowing them to earn a living through their handicrafts and empowering them to support their families.

Queen Rania and Duchess Camilla also attended a session of expressive art therapy for survivors of gender-based violence. They worked alongside the survivors to create clay hand prints, which were donated to the QRFCC to commemorate their visit.

JRF's Expressive Art program, which began in 2016, provides a healing outlet for female victims of various forms of violence, assisting them in overcoming their trauma and establishing life goals.

JRF also operates a toll-free Families and Children Helpline, which provides emotional support, assistance, and referral services to children and adults, connecting families to existing services at QRFCC or other relevant public services. The helpline, which was established in 2007, is part of the global Child Helpline International (CHI) network and can be reached in Jordan by dialing "110."

JRF is a non-governmental organization that was founded in 1995 with the goal of promoting both child safety and community empowerment. The foundation, chaired by Queen Rania, works to ensure the implementation of child rights and the reinforcement of positive child-rearing methods within Jordanian families, as well as to provide home-grown solutions to some of Jordan's most pressing challenges.

Interview with Chris Ship from ITV

In an interview with ITV News' Royal Editor Chris Ship, Queen Rania has called for "global collaboration" to address the climate crisis, as she welcomed The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall on their first Royal Tour in two years.

Queen Rania described Charles as a "leading figure" in the fight against climate change. Queen Rania described Charles as a "leading figure" in the fight against climate change. She also highlighted the Queen's health after her majesty was forced to miss Sunday's remembrance service owing to a sprained back.

"The forecast here in the Middle East is pretty grim... here in Jordan," Queen Rania remarked of the impact of climate change.

"The prognosis here in the Middle East is quite dire... here in Jordan, we're considered the second most water scarce country in the world, and dwindling rainfall still hits us where it hurts," Queen Rania said of climate change.

"Our carbon footprint is quite small for a country like Jordan." If we truly want to make a difference in the world, we must work together globally and make common commitments."

Queen Rania praised the involvement of the British royals in environmental campaigns, describing Prince Charles as "a major figure in the struggle for our world" and someone who has "been speaking about this subject for so long."

"Prince William is equally enthusiastic, and it's been a tremendous pleasure for me to work on the Earthshot Prize," she continued.

When asked about Queen Elizabeth II's recent period of rest due to medical advice, Queen Rania stated, "We're constantly worried about her health, but she's a strong woman who is quite active even at her age."

"We can only hope to be as active as she is at that age, so please know that our best wishes are always with her, and we hope she has many years ahead of her."

The Jordanian royal spoke to the 95-year-old as "someone we hold in extremely high esteem" and "someone I myself look up to," adding that the Queen is a "inspiration" to the rest of the globe.

Queen Rania says temperature rises in the Middle East predicted +4C by 2050.
