Honoring World Refugee Day, June 20 2011

Join INEE in honoring World Refugee Day, 20 June 2011, and help pay homage to the approximately 15 million refugees and 27.5 million internally displaced persons who have been forced to flee their homes because of deadly violence, persecution or natural disaster.

In addition, today we recognize the important work of INEE members around the world who are seeking to secure the right to education for displaced people and we applaud the hard-won gains for education as a right for refugees, internally displaced people and all who are impacted by conflict or natural disaster.
