Today is #WorldRefugeeDay. I am spending it in Syria with some of the 600,000 people who have returned from neighbouring countries after 14 years of conflict. Syria today is where returning Syrians — given security, opportunities and support — can finally stop being refugees.

Every child deserves a childhood, yet an alarming percentage of those forced to flee are children. Many carry the trauma of war and displacement. We owe it to them to ensure they are not forgotten.

A community that is open to refugees is a community that is open to new potential. When we welcome refugees, we don’t just offer safety and a new home – we invite growth, resilience and opportunity. Let’s build communities that say “welcome”.
