World Refugee Day 2023
World Refugee Day 2023
The 2023 theme of World Refugee Day is “hope away from home.”
What is the theme of World Refugee Day 2023?
This year, World Refugee Day focuses on the power of inclusion and solutions for refugees.
Including refugees in the communities where they have found safety after fleeing conflict and persecution is the most effective way to support them in restarting their lives and enable them to contribute to the countries hosting them.
It’s also the best way to prepare them to return home and rebuild their countries, when conditions allow them to do so safely and voluntarily, or to thrive if they are resettled to another country.
