As global crises grow, so do dangers for humanitarians protecting those forced to flee.
In 2023, civilian casualties in conflict soared and humanitarian worker fatalities doubled.
This must stop.
On
#WorldHumanitarianDay
, we call for their protection.
#ActForHumanity
9 years ago, we launched the
#IBelong
campaign to
#EndStatelessness
.
Despite progress, statelessness still affects millions, depriving them of the right to a nationality.
Let’s unite to end this injustice.
“To the refugees around the world who have been cheering, the message these athletes have sent is clear: Refugees, when given opportunity, can achieve impossible dreams.”
