World Refugee Day 2004 National Activity Plan: India

World Refugee Day 2004 National Activity Plan: India

20 April 2004

Kids play in a neighbourhood populated mostly by Iraqi refugees. Because refugees are not allowed to work in Syria, children often must take informal jobs to help support their families.

In New Delhi, UNHCR will organise on 20 June an interactive roundtable involving prominent academics and human rights activists. The discussion will focus on durable solutions for refugees in India.

A painting contest will be held for children in the refugee camps in Chennai. Other activities like debates and cultural events will also involve the local host population.
