Refugee Week 2024 — Finding Freedom: Family

In a world marked by displacement and the search for refuge, this year’s Refugee Week theme 'Finding Freedom' – with a focus on family – encapsulates the profound journey of resilience, strength, and unity that defines the refugee experience. This Refugee Week (16-22 June), we aim to shed light on the transformative power of familial bonds as well as chosen bonds in the face of adversity and emphasise the crucial role families play in providing solace, support, and a sense of belonging to those forced to flee their homelands.
