World Refugee Day, June 20th

Today is World Refugee Day, established to honor the "spirit and courage" of refugees and to express our solidarity for them. This year's theme is "Keeping the Flame of Hope Alive." UNHCR's event page provides an introduction to the theme, messages from leaders of the international community, and a listing of activities around the world.

Refugee Week UK runs from 19 to 25 June. For more information about special events, please visit the site set up by a partnership of UK-based humanitarian agencies.
