They have one BIG thing in common. Both can save your life. Grace Dorong, advocate for women, peace and climate, explains the 1951 Refugee Convention. #WorldRefugeeDay The refugee host compares the right to seek safety to an emergency exit. Something most of us never really think about and hope we will never need, but are glad exists...just in case. When home becomes too dangerous due to war, violence, conflict or persecution, the right to seek safety can become the only way to ensure survival. It means having a door to protection and not being sent back into danger. It is the emergency exit for the day everything goes wrong. UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, works to protect and assist those fleeing war and persecution. Since 1950, we have helped tens of millions of people find safety and rebuild their lives. With your support, we can restore hope for many more.
