World Refugee Day is an international day established by the United Nations to honor refugees around the world. Celebrated every year on June 20, it highlights the perseverance and courage of people who have been forced to flee their country of origin to escape conflict or persecution.

World Refugee Day is an opportunity to foster greater understanding and empathy for the plight of refugees and to raise awareness of their resilience as they start new lives.
