Every year, on June 20, the world celebrates refugees across the globe on World Refugee Day. Yet many events are organized without meaningful participation from the refugee communities themselves. We changed this and hosted a refugee-led World Refugee Day in 2022, uniting refugee groups from the DR Congo, Rwanda, Somalia, Burundi, South Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and our Uganda hosts for a community-driven event highlighting the resilience and agency of refugees to lead the way.
We are happy to finally announce this year’s celebration in joint collaboration with refugee-led organizations and partners from all across Uganda. Join us on June 20th, as we call for meaningful refugee inclusion and participation, as well as recognition that there is NOTHING ABOUT US, WITHOUT US.
We welcome partners who want to join, and contribute to this year’s celebration, to please reach us on: [email protected]
