It falls each year on 20 June, and celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home countries to escape conflict or persecution. World Refugee Day 2023 focuses on the power of inclusion and solutions for refugees, with the theme ‘Hope away from Home. A world where refugees are always included’. These girls are learning at a school in the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, where 40% of learners are girls

    Boys in the “Comuna 12” neighborhood of the Pacific coast city of Buenaventura, in northwestern Colombia, hone their football skills. The boys are participating in an impromptu match and coaching session organized by Brayan Moreno, a 29-year-old former professional football player who now volunteers with kids in this marginalized neighborhood. Brayan believes that sport is an effective tool for keeping vulnerable young people out of the clutches of the armed groups that hold sway throughout large swaths of this part of Colombia, sometimes forcing entire communities to abandon their homes and leave their communities. (Brayan himself was the victim of forced displacement as a child.) The football program for which Brayan was a coach received funding from UNHCR, allowing the group to improve the pitch, buy the basic equipment, and provide Brayan with a modest stipend for his time and dedication. But funding shortfalls to UNHCR’s operations in Colombia meant that support for the program had to be cut. Still, despite his daily struggles to put food on the table for his partner and their toddler, Brayan continues to volunteer his time to coach the youth of “Comuna 12.”

    Valle de Jesús, located in eastern Guatemala, on the border with Honduras, is an area with a high level of human mobility of both refugees and migrants. With the support of UNHCR and in collaboration with local authorities, the community has benefited from a health center that benefits both refugees and host communities.  In rural Guatemala, where access to services is generally very limited, this means that inhabitants no longer need to walk for hours to receive medical attention. On the picture we see Oscar, a community leader together with his daughter.   "I am the father of three children, and what we have planted here is priceless and an inheritance for everyone". As a community leader, Oscar has been lobbying for years together with the town's Community Development Council (COCODE) to bring health care closer to the community. The health centre is a result of advocacy by community leaders and the collaboration between UNHCR and the local municipality as part of the “Cities of Solidarity” initiative.
