Markrid Antossian Markrid Antossian holds a BA in Political Science and is pursuing her MA in International Affairs at the Lebanese American University. Her involvement in the field of migration began when she became a Project Assistant for IOM on a regional project dealing with migrant workers. She interviewed migrant workers inside the Lebanese Detention Center to identify victims of human trafficking and help them benefit from voluntary return and repatriation services. She is currently a Senior Resettlement Assistant for the UNHCR with the mission of identifying vulnerable Syrian refugees who could benefit from resettlement as a durable solution. She has worked in the field office in Tripoli and she is now based in UNHCR’s Beirut office. Everyday she is in direct contact with Syrian refugees in Lebanon. It has inspired her to start her blog “RefugeeDays” (refugeedays.wordpress.com) where she reflects on refugees’ stories. In March 2014, she was selected to be part of the Harvard Model United Nations in Seoul where she represented Lebanon and the Lebanese American University. Her future prospects are to soar more in the field of forced migration and
refugees while embracing tolerance towards cultural diversity.
