We were honoured to have 🇺🇦 Ombudsman Denisova at our conference last week, reporting about #warcrimes and the refugee situation.

Several members of #ENOnetwork signed a joint declaration reaffirming their solidarity with Denisova and #Ukraine.

The help given to 🇺🇦 Ukrainian refugees should be the benchmark for all refugees, regardless of where they come from.

#ENOnetwork

Local authorities have been at the forefront - along with civil society and volunteers - in welcoming refugees and making the rights in the EU temporary directive come alive.

#ENOnetwork

Problems noted by #ENOnetwork Ombudsmen include:

- a lack of psychologists
- the risk of human trafficking
- ensuring the rights of non-Ukrainians fleeing 🇺🇦 #Ukraine

#ENOnetwork Ombudsmen described their work at the borders with 🇺🇦 #Ukraine and the specific needs of women and children who have been traumatised by what they have witnessed or been subjected to.

The European Network of Ombudsmen #ENOnetwork can help ensure that Ukrainian refugees get access to the rights - accommodation, education, social welfare - they are entitled to.

Commissioner Denisova’s account underlined how important it is for ombudsmen to challenge democratic erosion at every turn. Unchecked small transgressions can evolve into bigger ones.
#ENOnetwork

We were honoured that Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Denisova spoke at our annual #ENOnetwork conference to give an account of war crimes being committed in 🇺🇦 #Ukraine and how best to help refugees.

Day two of #ENOnetwork conference - Great to continue discussions with fellow ombudsmen about digitalisation of public administrations and to hear first-hand accounts of the challenges this can present.

It's a wrap. Thank you very much to all online and in-person participants. #ENOnetwork

The task of public administrations is to help people. We have fight for this mindset every day - Ülle Madise, Estonian Ombudsman
#ENOnetwork

It is the public administration that needs to adapt to the citizens, and not the citizens to the administration - Claire Hédon,

It is not just older people who are marginalised by digitalisation. There are many young people who don’t have the required digital skills - Thomas Lecourt from @EmmausConnect@twitter.com
#ENOnetwork

Digital tools have to be truly accessible – they have to be accessible by people with all types of disabilities, says Ülle Madise, Estonian Ombudsman
#ENOnetwork

Clarity in digital world is important – administrations need to tell people how and when to use the tools, and be able to troubleshoot problems, when they occur - Reinier van Zutphen, @nat_ombudsman@twitter.com
#ENOnetwork

The burden is now on the users to try manage digital tools rather than on the public administration to provide citizen friendly services, says Claire Hédon, @Defenseurdroits@twitter.com
