World Refugee Day/Refugee Week

World Refugee Day (WRD) is commemorated annually on June 20th. This year's theme is protection. For more information about World Refugee Day generally, visit UNHCR's special events web page. And here is more information about how UNHCR is using social media to get the word out about this year's WRD.

The UK and Australia each play host to week-long activities that culminate on World Refugee Day. To learn more about their respective programmes, visit:
