UNHCR’s international relief work relies on donations from governments, partners and individuals. Our community of supporters plays a vital role in protecting and rebuilding the lives of people who are escaping war and violence. Donations allow UNHCR to provide refugees with shelter, food, clean water, and healthcare, as well as the chance to study, work and build a better future for themselves and their families.
Films have the power to show us new perspectives and learn about places, people, and experiences unfamiliar to our own. This watch guide lists films and TV shows that depict refugee stories and themes of displacement. Watch on your own or host a screening with friends and family to learn more about refugees and refugee experiences.
This book list features refugee authors and/or stories about refugee experiences. These stories amplify voices we do not often get the chance to hear and help remind us that behind every statistic is a person with resilience and a story worth knowing. Read a book or host a book club with your family and friends to learn more about global displacement, refugees, and refugee experiences.
Join Us for World Refugee Day
Each year on June 20th the world honors the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution.
Together, we can champion their right to seek safety, build support for their economic and social inclusion, and advocate for solutions to their plight.
Stand in solidarity with refugees as we recognize World Refugee Day.
