War has forced millions of people to flee their homes. You can tell one of their stories. It could be your own experience or that of a family member, friend or colleague. By sharing your story on this page, you can help shed light on the hardships people face when they leave everything behind – and bring attention to their strength, their courage and their resiliency. Show you support, and let others know: this is the most urgent story of our time.
Examples: 'Forced to flee', 'My friend the refugee', 'Ibrahim from Somalia', etc.
This can be either the country you're in, or the country your story relates to.
