Every day, refugees fight to overcome the odds in the world’s toughest places. This moment is no different. And through it, we're seeing refugees go above and beyond to help each other–and the world–overcome it together.

These refugees take their past and turn it into ways to give back. They take their essential stories and turn them into essential action to help others.

So for World Refugee Day 2020, as those tough places become more critical, let's celebrate the refugees who are drawing from their own unwavering hope in humanity to create hope for all.

International Rescue Committee. Refugees are Essential.


And then, IRC teams around the world shared even more stories using our conceptual framework.


During the beginning of the global pandemic, we partnered with the IRC to rush out a PSA urging the world to help refugees.
