 Will you stand #WithRefugees?

Please sign our petition to ask world leaders
to act with solidarity and shared responsibility.

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.

Fields marked with an * are required

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