The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is an international organization established in 1950 to protect and support refugees worldwide. Its primary mission is to ensure that everyone has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another country. UNHCR works to provide essential services, such as shelter, food, and medical care, to those who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or natural disasters.
UNHCR also advocates for the rights of refugees and displaced persons, promoting durable solutions like voluntary repatriation, local integration, or resettlement in a third country. The organization collaborates with governments, NGOs, and other partners to address the challenges faced by millions of people worldwide who are seeking safety and stability.
