Show world governments that refugee rights matter
With your voice added in solidarity, change is possible. Help show the Governments of the world that the rights of refugees' matter to you.
As winter approaches in many places around the world, families who have been forced to flee their homes because of war, violence and persecution face the most challenging months far from home.
At this time, solidarity and action for refugees is needed more than ever.
Join UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency by calling for continued and increased global solidarity and funding for refugees across the world.
We will deliver your call for action and solidarity at the December Pledging Conference organized by UNHCR where governments come together to pledge their financial support for refugees throughout 2025.
You can help send a clear and powerful message that, together, we can give hope to all those away from home- no matter where they come from or who they are - and find lasting solutions that uphold their rights.
With your voice added in solidarity, change is possible. You can help to show the Governments of the world that the rights of refugees’ matter to you.
With more funding pledges by Governments, philanthropists, foundations and individuals like you, UNHCR can respond better to global crises, providing urgent aid and long-term solutions. This support helps refugees escape 'limbo,' develop skills, and contribute to their new communities, creating brighter futures for all.

New UNHCR-IPSOS Survey shows enduring public support for refugees, alongside stark variations in attitudes
73%*
of participants agreed that people fleeing war, violence and persecution should be able to take refuge in other countries, including their own
44%*
believe in refugees being able to integrate and -- for example -- access their full right to education, and nearly as many support their full access to healthcare and jobs (42%)
77%*
expressed support, to a varying degree, for policies that allow refugee families to be reunited in the country of asylum.
37%*
of the people surveyed, (almost two in five people) believe that international aid for countries hosting refugees is insufficient - with 75% of refugees living in low-and-middle-income countries.
A new public attitudes survey from Ipsos and UNHCR, as part of UNHCR’s Hope Away from Home campaign, has found enduring public support for refugees, with three-quarters of adults (73%) believing that those fleeing war or persecution should be able to seek safety in other countries.
Against a backdrop of 117.3 million individuals worldwide forcibly displaced as a result of persecution, conflict and violence and in a crisis-ridden world, the survey’s revelation of enduring public support for the right to seek safety gives hope as we continue to advocate for global solidarity, to keep doors open to refugees and work together for a world where refugees are welcomed.
UNHCR’s Hope Away from Home campaign is a renewed call for global solidarity and to protect the right to seek safety. We are advocating for governments to honour their moral and legal obligations to protect the rights of everyone forced to flee their homes.
No one should have to pay with their lives or freedom to reach safety.
UNHCR’s five key asks of States
The Hope Away from Home campaign establishes five key asks of States with support from UNHCR and partners, to amend policies and introduce new practices so that all people fleeing war, violence and persecution can find and live in safety, without discrimination.
Access to safe territory and preventing people from facing violence or dying along the routes.
Adequate conditions and treatment for refugees in line with human rights, dignity and inclusion.
Accession to the Refugee Convention, lifting reservations and establishing efficient asylum procedures.
Increased access to durable solutions, including resettlement.
Solidarity and support to countries and communities hosting large refugee populations.
UNHCR works with partners, civil society, corporate partners and field operations to advance policy change to bring a real and lasting change in how the world responds to the growing refugee crisis.
