World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honour refugees around the globe. It falls each year on June 20th and shines a light on the rights, needs and dreams of those forced to flee their home countries.
At least 108.4 million people around the world have been forced to flee their homes. Among them are nearly 35.3 million refugees, around 41 per cent of whom are under the age of 18. There are also millions of stateless people, who have been denied a nationality and lack access to basic rights such as education, health care, employment and freedom of movement.
