Dear John,

There is just one week to go until World Refugee Day, and, as you read this, an unprecedented 100 million people have been displaced by war, violence and persecution. We have launched a special campaign to create a global movement of solidarity with refugees. We ask everyone to upload their photo with our solidarity ribbon to show that they stand #withrefugeesaround the world.

As a UNHCR supporter, we invite you to join us in letting the world know that, at this unprecedented time, you stand with refugees. This means:

 
 

Right to asylum

Seeking asylum is a human right. Anyone fleeing persecution, conflict, or human rights abuses has a right to seek protection in another country.

 
 
 
 

Safe access

Borders should remain open to all people forced to flee. No journey to safety should be made more dangerous by restricted access.

 
 
 
 

No pushbacks

Countries shouldn’t push anyone back to a country is their life or freedom is at risk.

 
 
 
 

No discrimination

All applications for refugee status must be given fair consideration, regardless of race, religion, gender or country of origin.

 
 
 
 

Humane treatment

People forced to flee should be treated with respect and dignity. This means keeping families together, protecting people from traffickers, and avoiding arbitrary detention.

 
 
 
 
 
 

 Join the movement!

 

Every person has the right to seek safety, whoever they are, wherever they come from, and whenever they are forced to flee.

 

Please join us today and show your solidarity.

 

 
 
 
 

Thank you,
