Global: June 20 is World Refugee Day
Throughout their long and daunting journey from oppression and persecution to asylum and protection, and eventually to a place they can call home, refugees show incredible strength, courage and determination. Their journey is a dangerous and arduous one and every day spent in exile is a day too long.
But in every step of their journey refugees carry with them an unshakable, unrelenting hope. By hanging on to their hopes for basic survival, sustenance and protection, and for the chance to one day rebuild their lives, refugees defy all odds.
On World Refugee Day, PWRDF invites you to remember and celebrate the indomitable spirit and courage of the world’s refugees. As different as they are from each other, one thing connects them all: hope for a better future and a chance to restore lasting peace to their lives.
