UNHCR Launches Campaign to Uphold Right to Asylum Ahead of World Refugee Day

17 Haziran 2026France 24

The UNHCR has launched its 'Until Everyone is Safe' campaign, aimed at encouraging young people worldwide to advocate for the fundamental human right to asylum. This initiative seeks to challenge negative stereotypes about refugees, highlighting that the right to seek safety extends beyond mere survival.
It includes essential rights such as access to work, healthcare, education, and the ability to live with dignity. The campaign underscores the importance of these rights in rebuilding lives and futures.
World Refugee Day, observed on June 20, serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by millions of refugees worldwide. The UNHCR's campaign aligns with this observance, aiming to raise awareness and promote solidarity with displaced individuals.
The UNHCR's campaign comes at a critical time when the global discourse around refugees is often marred by misinformation and prejudice. By targeting young people, the initiative not only aims to reshape perceptions but also empowers the next generation to take action in support of those seeking asylum.
