News: World Refugee Day 2023

World Refugee Day is commemorated annually on June 20th. This year's theme is "Hope away from Home. A world where refugees are always included." More info is provided here. See also the High Commissioner's WRD message. You can follow events and activities taking place around the world via the live blog and UNHCR's various Twitter feeds in ArabicEnglish, French & Spanish.

UNHCR also releases its annual Global Trends report on or just before World Refugee Day. This media page provides links to the 2022 report in English and Spanish, as well as related photos, videos and press materials.

Finally, as I mentioned earlier, UNHCR launched a revamped site back in April. I was hoping to share some more detailed feedback on it by now, but it appears to still be undergoing improvements. So I will defer comments for now! In the meantime, though, I have updated my "UNHCR's Resources and Publications" page to reflect any link changes or moved documents.
