Globally, 3 in 4 people support the human right to seek safety from war, violence, and persecution. UNHCR is calling for ongoing solidarity to protect and defend the rights of all refugees, without discrimination. The time for action is now.

122.6 million people displaced by war, violence and persecution. One story of courage and hope.

Despite so much xenophobia and apparent polarisation in the world, despite the erosion of public empathy and trust, you and millions like you, care.

A new survey by IPSOS and UNHCR’s Hope Away from Home campaign shows that 73% of adults worldwide – three-quarters of the global population – believe that people fleeing war or persecution should have the right to seek safety.

When you stand up for refugee rights, you join a powerful global community of millions who share your compassion and commitment to justice. Together, we are a movement for hope and humanity.

Add your name and show the world we stand united.

UNHCR’s five key asks of States

The Hope Away from Home campaign establishes five key asks of States with support from UNHCR and partners, to amend policies and introduce new practices so that all people fleeing war, violence and persecution can find and live in safety, without discrimination.

1. Access to safe territory and preventing people from facing violence or dying along the routes.
2. Adequate conditions and treatment for refugees in line with human rights, dignity and inclusion.
3. Accession to the Refugee Convention, lifting reservations and establishing efficient asylum procedures.
4. Increased access to durable solutions, including resettlement.
5. Solidarity and support to countries and communities hosting large refugee populations.

UNHCR works with partners, civil society, corporate partners and field operations to advance policy change to bring a real and lasting change in how the world responds to the growing refugee crisis.

No one should have to pay with their lives or freedom to reach safety.

Thank you for showing your support to refugees and people forced to flee.

Please share this call for support with your friends and family on social media and let them know you have added your name to our growing list!
