World Refugee Day

World Refugee Day, observed on June 20th each year, is dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges faced by refugees worldwide. It honors the courage and resilience of those who have fled their home countries due to war, persecution, or violence. Established by the United Nations in 2001, the day encourages governments and individuals to support refugees and promote their rights. Celebrations may include events, discussions, and activities aimed at fostering understanding and solidarity, ultimately advocating for the protection and integration of refugees in host communities.
