- Summary
Three years ago, the EU activated the Temporary Protection Directive, providing a safe pathway to protection for millions of people fleeing the war in Ukraine. It was a powerful demonstration of the EU’s unity and solidarity in the face of a humanitarian crisis, providing displaced people with immediate and collective protection, including the right to reside, work, study, and access health care and social support in the EU.But with temporary protection due to expire just one year from now, time is running out to find durable solutions, and provide people with the predictability they need to rebuild their lives with dignity.
