United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is an international organization established in 1950 to protect and assist refugees worldwide. Its main role is to ensure that people fleeing persecution, conflict, or violence receive safety, help, and the right to seek asylum. UNHCR works to provide essential services like shelter, food, and healthcare while advocating for solutions to their plight, such as resettlement in another country or return to their home safely. By coordinating support from governments, NGOs, and communities, UNHCR strives to safeguard the rights and dignity of millions of displaced individuals.
