World Refugee Day
UNHCR Poster for World Refugee Day - June 20 2006 Theme HOPE "On this World Refugee Day, let us remember that refugees too are real people with real needs. Helping them to rebuild their lives and their communities benefits us all."

~ U.N. High Commissioner Antonio Gutteres
In 2001, World Refugee Day was established by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to honor and remember refugees across the world. Each year, on the 20th of June, refugees and refugee service providers come together to celebrate the strengths and contributions of refugees to the communities in which we reside. Many celebrations include native dance performances, community gatherings and luncheons, poster presentations, press conferences, and naturalization ceremonies. The table below includes information about previous World Refugee Day themes and events.
