Feast Menu Planning is almost there

3rd April and Feast planning is almost there with recipes being sourced from countries from which the majority of Australia's refugees come. A plentiful variety of Australian wines will accompany the Feast.

Fact: In the past decade, the number of people displaced from their home has doubled, from 41 million to 82.4 million.

1 in 95 people are now forcibly displaced, an increase from 1 in 159 in 2010, with the rate of global displacement now outpacing population growth.

More than two-thirds came from just five countries.  In 2020–21, Australia granted a total of 5,947 refugee and humanitarian visas. The majority of these people came from:

• Iraq
• Myanmar
• Afghanistan
• Syria

The number of children seeking safety is steadily increasing worldwide. In 2021, it was estimated that children below 18 years of age comprised 41% of the overall displaced population despite comprising 30% of the global population.
