[Bonus] The Role of PRM with Anjalina Sen | U.S. State Department

Seeking Refuge

Today, Jackie sits down with Anjalina Sen, Regional Refugee Coordinator at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota, Columbia. Anjalina has worked for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) in Myanmar, Iraq, Beruit, and Turkey, and she now helps manage one of the largest displacement crises in the world in Venezuela. They talk about the situation in Venezuela and how it compares to other crises around the world, PRM’s role in aiding displaced individuals globally, and the role the individual taxpayer has in all of this.
