World Refugee Day
The United Nations General Assembly designated June 20 as World Refugee Day to remember the plight of refugees around the world and to recognize and celebrate the contribution of refugees throughout the world. Since then, World Refugee Day has become an annual commemoration marked by a variety of events in over a hundred countries. This year, the world will commemorate World Refugee Day for the seventh time with the theme “Protecting Refugees: Rebuilding Lives in Safety and Dignity,” in order to draw the public’s attention to the millions of refugees worldwide who are forced to flee their homes.
