June 20: World Refugee Day / 20 Ιουνίου: Παγκόσμια Ημέρα για τους Πρόσφυγες

A call from the UN Refugee Agency:

1. The focus of World Refugee Day 2013 is on the impact of war on families. The core message is "1 family torn apart by war is too many."

2. The campaign call-to-action is to “Take 1 minute to support a family forced to flee.” 
In 1 minute, a family can be torn apart by war, a child can be separated from his or her parents, and a lifetime of work can be destroyed. Yet in 1 minute, we can also act - reuniting a family, protecting a child, providing shelter. Please donate now and help UNHCR assist refugees. Your 1 simple action will help thousands of uprooted people today.

3. Photo Gallery:
UNHCR has launched a project sourcing photos and stories from forcibly displaced people from around the world, who show and describe the most important thing they brought with them when they fled from their homes. We encourage our partners and stakeholders to participate in the photo project. More information coming soon, please check back!
