Røde Kors – 40 år med asylarbejde (1984–2024)

For four decades, the Danish Red Cross has been at the forefront of welcoming people seeking asylum in Denmark. This video marks the 40-year anniversary and tells the story of how it all began in 1984 – and how the Red Cross has since played a vital role in Denmark’s asylum system. Through archival footage and personal stories, we explore key historical moments and reflect on how the work continues today. 🎥 Featuring: – Jørgen Chemnitz (former head of the asylum department) – Anne la Cour (current head) – Carsten Isaksen (deputy head) – Maja Rettrup Mørch (senior advisor) – Current and former staff and volunteers 📌 From the first Iranian refugees in the 1980s to Bosnians in the 1990s, Syrian arrivals in the 2010s, evacuations from Afghanistan, and the recent influx of Ukrainians – the Red Cross has stood for dignity, solidarity, and humanity throughout. #RedCross #Asylum #Refugees #40Years #DanishRedCross #HumanitarianWork
