Making Domestic Violence Shelters a Safe Haven for People and Pets

Our pets bring us comfort, companionship and a sense of safety. Many recent studies suggest that the bond between an owner and their pet is deeply emotional.

Corporations Can Accelerate Solutions to the Worldwide Refugee Crisis

The current volume of worldwide refugees is staggering—20 million people are categorized as refugees out of 60 million displaced from their homes according to the United Nations Human Rights Council—and the pace of this overall crisis has greatly increased since the beginning of the Syrian conflict. What Frontex classifies as ‘illegal border crossings’ have shot up six-fold in 2015 versus 2014 to the EU alone, even twelve-fold in the Q4 comparison. And the problem is here to stay: The average length of conflict-induced displacement is 17 years according to a United Nations study. The complexity of this situation requires new solutions beyond traditional government response, and the private sector in particular has an important role to play.
