The United Nations recognizes World Refugee Day annually on June 20 to raise awareness of and show support for the millions of refugees who have been forced to flee their homes each year. This year, the UN Refugee Agency will also launch its #WithRefugees petition to send a message to governments that they must work together to ensure the rights and safety of refugees.

To support the efforts of World Refugee Day, Berghahn Journals is offering relevant articles, including one from Focaal,  with hope that this will contribute to the overall discussion of the lives of refugees.

The U.S. Mission is co-sponsoring the exhibition entitled “An Entire Life in a Package” by Israeli artist Orna Ben-Ami at the United Nations Office at Geneva. The exhibit was officially opened on June 20 in light of World Refugee Day, and focuses on refugees and the few belongings they take with them when they leave (photo by Eric Bridiers via Flickr, CC BY-ND 2.0).
