The Refugee-Led Research Hub (RLRH) supports individuals with lived experience of displacement to become leaders in fields of their choice, including human rights, forced migration, politics, law, and other areas of interest. We do so by delivering academic and professional development programming to a global cohort of students who have been affected by displacement, supporting access to graduate degrees and advanced professional opportunities. RLRH also creates opportunities for researchers with displacement backgrounds to lead primary and secondary research studies, from start to finish. The mission of RLRH is embodied in our leadership structure: the majority of our team have lived experience of displacement. 

Our network of colleagues, researchers, students, and other professional affiliates is comprised of 1400+ individuals across 100+ countries. RLRH has six active offices: we were founded in Nairobi in 2020, opened an office at the University of Oxford in 2021, and have since developed physical hubs in Kakuma refugee camp, Kuala Lumpur, the Oxfordshire community, and Kampala.
