World Refugee Day is celebrated every year on June 20th to raise awareness about the challenges faced by refugees around the world and to express empathy and support for them in their difficult life situations. This day also provides an opportunity to provide refugees with information and resources that can help them overcome their challenges.

The international community, including states, civil society organizations, and the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), works to provide support to refugees. This day is used to appeal to states to respect the rights of refugees, provide them with protection, and give them access to basic necessities such as food, shelter, healthcare, and education. It is also important to raise awareness of humanitarian efforts and work towards addressing the root causes of the refugee crisis. This includes combating conflicts, violence, and persecution in the refugees' countries of origin, as well as providing assistance in the rebuilding of those countries to enable safe return for refugees. It is important to remember that refugees are not just numbers or statistics, but individuals who have experienced traumatic events and who seek an opportunity for a better future.

World Refugee Day provides us with an opportunity to show solidarity with refugees, to hear their stories, and to recognize their courage and resilience. We call on everyone to educate themselves about the refugee crisis, support organizations that assist refugees, and engage in ways that create a more inclusive and humane society for all people, regardless of their origin.
