What is World Refugee Day?
The day serves as an opportunity to honor the courage, resilience, and contributions of refugees, as well as to highlight the challenges they face in rebuilding their lives. It also aims to promote public understanding of the reasons why people become refugees and to advocate for the rights and protection of refugees.
