Refugees, a matter of concern

The matter of refuges is one of the hot topics in the contemporary world.

An unprecedented 65.3 million people around the world have been forced from their home. Among them are nearly 21.3 million aged 18.

Each day war forces thousands of families to flee their homes. To escape the violence, they leave everything behind – everything except their hopes and dreams for a safer future. We all believe that all refugees deserve to live in safety.

Governments must act with solidarity and shared responsibility. The world should ensure every refugee children's education, ensure every refugee's safety and that every refugee can work or learn new skills to make a positive contribution to their community.
