Stand with Humanity: Celebrate World Refugee Day with compassion and creativity.
World Refugee Day, observed every year on 20th June, is a global moment to honour the strength, courage, and resilience of millions of people forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or disaster. It’s a day to raise awareness, foster empathy, and take action—whether through storytelling, community support, or advocacy. For individuals, it’s a chance to learn and share. For small businesses, it’s an opportunity to lead with purpose, amplify refugee voices, and show solidarity through thoughtful content and campaigns.
World Refugee Day is an opportunity to learn about the experiences of displaced people and highlight stories of resilience, belonging, and hope. Explore thoughtful ideas for awareness campaigns, educational content, community initiatives, and advocacy materials with Adobe Express.
What is World Refugee Day?
Established by the United Nations in 2001, World Refugee Day is observed annually on 20 June to recognise refugees around the world and draw attention to the challenges they face.
