📣 Our Global Report 2024 is out. Thanks to donor support, UNHCR protected and assisted 36.4 million displaced and stateless people. But for the first time, less than half of our budget was funded. We need sustained commitment to continue delivering for those who need us most.

Strong support for refugee rights in Sweden. 81% believe in offering refuge to those escaping war and persecution, and 65% say wealthier nations should provide financial support. Solidarity with refugees is the right choice. #WorldRefugeeDay 🔗bit.ly/4jZxQkL

At a time of record displacement and shrinking support, we always choose solidarity over silence. This #WorldRefugeeDay, we honour refugees not just with our words, but with action, empathy and unwavering support.

If you’ve been forced to flee due to war, violence or persecution, chances are you haven’t crossed a border. Most displaced people remain within their own countries—often without the protections refugees receive.
