UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency believes all refugees deserve to live in safety.

Add your name to the #WithRefugees petition to send a clear message to decision makers that they must act with solidarity and shared responsibility.

The petition asks decision makers to:

  • Ensure every refugee child gets an education.
  • Ensure every refugee family has somewhere safe to live.
  • Ensure every refugee can work or learn new skills to support their families.

We stand together #WithRefugees.”

The campaign continues until a Global Compact for Refugees is adopted in 2018.

What is the Global Compact for Refugees?

In 2018 world leaders will come to the UN to agree on a more just way of managing the global refugee crisis. This agreement, called The Global Compact for Refugees is all about sharing responsibility; where all parts of society stand together #WithRefugees and do their fair share instead of leaving individual states to bear the burden of mass forced displacement.
