World Refugee Day
June 20
Decided by the United Nations in honor of refugees around the world
It highlights the strength and courage of people forced to flee their homelands
To escape conflict, persecution, war or violence
It is an occasion to mobilize sympathy and understanding for their plight and recognition of their determination to rebuild their lives
The draft constitution guarantees that people who are forced to flee are treated in a dignified manner
Regardless of their identities
Everyone has the right to seek protection, regardless of their identity or beliefs
It is not negotiable because seeking safety is a human right.
