Will you stand# WithRefugees? Pledge your support

Each day war forces thousands of families to flee their homes. People like you, people like me.

To escape the violence, they leave everything behind – everything except their hopes and dreams for a safer future. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency believes that all refugees deserve to live in safety.

Add your name to the #WithRefugees petition to send a clear message to governments that they must act with solidarity and shared responsibility.

We stand together #WithRefugees.
Please stand with us. Sing the petition: www.unhcr.org/refugeeday/petition/

The #WithRefugees petition will be delivered to UN headquarters in New York ahead of the UN General Assembly meeting on September 19. The petition asks governments to:

    Ensure every refugee child gets an education.
    Ensure every refugee family has somewhere safe to live.
    Ensure every refugee can work or learn new skills to make a positive contribution to their community.
