Together we heal, learn, and shine.
What is World Refugee Day?
World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations
to honour refugees around the globe. It falls each year on June 20 and
celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee
their home country to escape conflict or persecution.
World Refugee Day is an occasion to build empathy and understanding for
their plight and to recognize their resilience in rebuilding their lives.
