World Refugee Day is a day set aside to remember the millions of people around the world who have been displaced due to persecution, war and conflict, and violence. Despite the negative rhetoric coming from governments and politicians, these women, men, and children have demonstrated incredible courage and resilience in some of the most horrific circumstances. They deserve our attention and our action, however small it may seem.
If you are interested in learning more about the current state of displacement, you can check out the latest Global Trends Report which is being released today as part of World Refugee Day. You can find it here. You can also find many resources from IAFR here.
May God give us wisdom and courage to step into a very difficult issue.
