World Refugee Day is an annual event commemorated every 20th day of June for both the international and local communities to reflect on the realities faced by refugees as forcibly displaced persons and to reaffirm commitment to upholding their rights, dignity, and humanity. This year’s theme, “In Solidarity with Refugees,” serves as both a call to action and a timely reminder that the responsibility of protecting refugees belongs to all of us, across communities, humanitarian and policy actors, and influencers within national, reigional and internationalboundaries.
This year’s theme aligns welland closely with Refugee Law Project’s (RLP) mission to promote the rights and protection of refugees, asylum seekers, stateless persons, and other forced migrants so that they may uphold and enjoy their human rights in peace and digntiy The Refugee Law Project is also committed to strengthening the capacities of host communities and national institutions to respond to the needs and aspirations of the forced populations in inclusive and equitable ways
