The National Democratic Institute has begun to reimagine refugee camps and camps for internally displaced persons as places where citizens can “find their voice” as voters and participants in democratic processes. Rather than remaining concentrations of desperate, dispossessed, and vulnerable people waiting for a day of return that may never come, refugee settlements should be fundamentally reconceived – as hubs of education, enterprise, and equal rights that can anchor networks of relatives and friends that extend back home and around the world.
国家民主研究所（National Democratic Institute）已开始重新构思难民营和国内流民收容营，将它们视为公民能够作为选民和民主过程参与者“发出自己的声音”的场所。难民定居点不应该仍然集中着等待亚旭永远不会到来的回家之日的绝望、失产、脆弱人群，而应该从根本上进行改造——成为教育、企业和平等权利的枢纽，成为难民祖国国内和全世界亲朋好友网络的“锚”。
