Stand up for refugees: Demand Britain takes leading role in new UN refugee agreements

Every minute, 20 people are forced to flee their homes by war, poverty or natural disaster.

We cannot turn away. These are human beings, just like each one of us.

Pope Francis has declared now a 'unique opportunity' for countries to act. But so far, governments are not meeting the challenge.

Join the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) Share the Journey campaign to call on Theresa May and the UK government to lead in developing new UN agreements on migration and refugees, which respect the human dignity of people forced from their homes.
