STAND AS ONE WITH PEOPLE FORCED TO FLEE

60 million people worldwide have been forced to flee violence, conflict and persecution, millions more have left everything behind fleeing disasters.

These are ordinary people who have seen their lives destroyed by circumstances beyond their control. They've lost their homes, their jobs and their loved ones.

But this September, governments will meet at the UN in New York to make commitments to improve the way people forced to flee are treated. Together we can help make sure world leaders guarantee them safety, protection and a dignified future by delivering a petition with over 100,000 signatures!

We all have rights - and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. This is a global crisis.  The world must come together and stand as one with people who have lost everything.

Right now the world's richest countries are failing millions of the world’s most vulnerable people who have fled their homes because of violence, conflict, and persecution, while poorer countries are hosting the majority of refugees around the world.

In many countries in which people forced to flee are currently living, they do not receive adequate assistance and protection, they aren’t allowed to work and their children cannot attend school which undermines their opportunity to live a safe life with opportunities for the future.

To save and protect lives, governments worldwide must act together and responsibly.
