The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is a global organization dedicated to protecting and assisting people who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or violence. Founded in 1950, it works to ensure that refugees have access to safety, shelter, and basic necessities. The UNHCR also advocates for their rights and seeks durable solutions, such as resettlement or return to their home countries when it's safe. Through various programs and partnerships, the UNHCR aims to improve the lives of millions of displaced individuals around the world.
