World Refugee Day 2024

This World Refugee Day, CFUW is raising awareness about the alarming number of refugees fleeing violence and persecution around the world—a number that has tripled in the last decade. Download our infographic on the global refugee population here (in French here).

But refugees are not just statistics. They are real people—many of whom are children—exercising their human right to seek asylum from persecution. Read some of their stories here.

In honour of World Refugee Day, consider making a donation to or volunteering for an organization that supports refugees within your community, such as a Canadian Council for Refugees member organization.
