Established by the UN General Assembly in 2001, the day spotlights the challenges faced by millions forced to flee conflict, persecution, and disaster.
Events worldwide include cultural performances, educational programs, and panel discussions led by humanitarian organizations.
The UNHCR selects an annual theme to highlight specific refugee issues and mobilize support and solidarity.
Communities, schools, and governments organize fundraisers and advocacy campaigns to promote refugee rights and integration.
Each year, inspiring stories of survival and resilience are shared to remind the world of the enduring human spirit.
