#WorldRefugeeDay comes once a year. But this year feels different. More people have been forced to flee their homes than at any point in history. Don’t underestimate the power of solidarity. This year, we need you to shout it from the rooftops. We’re #WithRefugees .

Unacceptable levels of violence against women in refugee households, despite fleeing unimaginable trauma & suffering in #Sudan . Very urgent need to scale up protection services to break this vicious cycle. More in our latest GBV report 👇
