World Refugee Day 2023 TAGLINE Hope Away From Home A world where refugees are always included THEME World Refugee Day 2023 focuses on solutions for refugees and the power of inclusion. View the United National High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) World Refugee Day 2023 Message In 2000 the United Nations General Assembly established June 20th as World Refugee Day. Since 2001, people all over the world have celebrated World Refugee Day (WRD) with events that honor the world’s refugees and raise awareness about their continued plight. Events to honor World Refugee Day are held worldwide, from refugee camps around the world to right here in Wisconsin. Here in Wisconsin, we organize a variety of activities throughout the state in the month of June to recognize the more than 75,000 refugees living across our state and to celebrate the diversity of culture and experiences they bring to our communities. All events are free and open to the public. At World Refugee Day celebrations, you can learn more about the refugee resettlement process, support local agencies that serve refugees, and enjoy the rich culture of our refugee and newcomer communities.
