The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is an international organization dedicated to protecting and supporting refugees and displaced persons worldwide. Established in 1950, it helps ensure safety and fundamental rights for individuals who flee their countries due to war, persecution, or violence. UNHCR provides critical assistance, including shelter, food, and legal support, and aids in resettlement or integration into new communities. The agency works with governments and partners to enhance global responses to refugee crises, promote durable solutions, and advocate for humane policies to safeguard the dignity and well-being of displaced individuals.
