Welcome to our World Refugee Day 2024 live blog, showcasing stories and events from around the world celebrating the strength and courage of people forced to flee their homes.
This year’s focus is “Solidarity with Refugees,” whether that be through welcoming and accepting refugees into our communities, advocating for policies that protect and support refugees, or working toward a solution to their plight.
Coming a week after new data reveals that the number of forcibly displaced people around the world has risen to an unprecedented 120 million, World Refugee Day is an opportunity to show support for those whose lives have been upended by conflict and persecution.
We hope these examples of global solidarity inspire you to get involved and support #WithRefugees and other #ForcedToFlee efforts.
