International Day of Honour for People Who Have Been Forced to Flee

June 20th is World Refugee Day

World Refugee Day is an international day that honours refugees around the world. It is observed on June 20th each year. The day was created by the United Nations in 2001 to raise awareness of the plight of refugees around the world.

Refugees are people who have been forced to flee their homes due to war, persecution, or natural disaster. They often have to leave everything behind, including their families, homes, and livelihoods. Refugees face many challenges, including discrimination, poverty, and violence. World Refugee Day is a day to remember the struggles of refugees and to call for their protection.
