ABOUT THE #WithRefugees CAMPAIGN

UNHCR launched the #WithRefugees campaign and petition to channel public solidarity for people forced to flee. Specifically, the petition aims to ensure all
refugee children get an education, all refugee families have somewhere safe to live and every refugee can work or learn new skills to support their families. The
Campaign will run until a global compact for refugees is adopted in 2018. Add your name to the #WithRefugees petition to send a clear message to decision makers
that they must act with solidarity and shared responsibility.
