🌍 Each year we celebrate World Refugee Day. This year the focus is on the right to seek safety. 🧑 Every person has a right to seek safety – whoever they are, wherever they come from and whenever they are forced to flee. 🧡 Like and share if you agree. #WorldRefugeeDay

Ukraine, Yemen, Syria, Myanmar, DR Congo, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq... No matter where a child is from, they all have the right to feel safe, be educated & protected. #WorldRefugeeDay

Refugee children are children first. Every child, no matter where they come from, has the right to seek safety, care and the support they need to survive and thrive. This #WorldRefugeeDay, and every day, UNICEF will continue its work to protect refugee children everywhere.

On this #WorldRefugeeDay, Defence for Children International stands #WithRefugees — especially the 36.5 million forcibly displaced children around the world. No matter where they are from, every child has a right to safety, education, and protection.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, let us remember we have a legal and moral obligation to protect children fleeing violence, danger, and persecution at every stage of their migration journey.
