Each year 20 June marks World Refugee Day. It is a day to honour people who have been forced to flee their homes to escape conflict or persecution. This year the focus is on solidarity with refugees. An excerpt from UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ speech:
“Becoming a refugee is never a choice
But how we respond is
So let us choose solidarity
Let us choose courage
Let us choose humanity”
