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 all refugees deserve to live in safety.
Add your name to the #WithRefugees petition to send a clear message to decision makers that they must act with solidarity and shared responsibility.
Why your voice matters
The petition will help UNHCR:
-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 support their families.
The campaign continues until a global compact for refugees is adopted in 2018.
