Why should I care about refugees?
Caring about refugees isn’t just an act of compassion; it’s about contributing to a stronger, more cohesive society for everyone. When refugees are supported in their efforts to integrate, they become valuable contributors to the cultural diversity, economic growth, and social fabric of their new communities. By helping them rebuild their lives, we foster a more unified world where everyone can live in a society that is safer, more just, and productive for all.
Why are there so many refugees?
In 2024, there were over 110 million forcibly displaced people worldwide (UNHCR’s latest data) . This number continues to grow due to various factors, including armed conflicts, persecution, environmental disasters, and economic instability. Many people are forced to flee their homes to escape violence, oppressive governments, or the devastating effects of climate change. It’s especially crucial to integrate refugees into the fabric of our society because they bring unique perspectives, skills, and resilience that can enrich our communities. By welcoming and supporting refugees, we not only uphold human rights but also strengthen the social and economic fabric of our societies, creating a more inclusive and dynamic future for everyone.
