World Refugee Day - 20 June 2025
This year, World Refugee Day focuses on solidarity with refugees.
On World Refugee Day 2025, World Vision stands united in solidarity with the millions forced to flee their homes, among them millions of children, each with the right to safety, to protection, and to education. These rights are not optional, and they do not disappear at the border of a crisis.
When a child is displaced, our collective humanity is tested, and our response must be clear: every refugee child has the right to learn, to heal, and to build a future.
Denying them education is denying them dignity. On this day, and every day, we affirm that standing with refugees means standing for justice, for rights, and for the transformative power of learning.
Charbel Chidiac, Senior Education in Emergencies Advisor for World Vision International.
