Syria is the biggest humanitarian and refugee crisis of our time. An entire generation of children is growing up without ever knowing peace. Seven years into the conflict, six million people are displaced across Syria and five and a half million have been forced to leave their country altogether.
Once again, ordinary people are fleeing for their lives, separated from their families and leaving everything behind at a moment's notice — their friends, their homes, their belongings.
These people did not choose to flee. No one does. But all people displaced by conflict have the right to protection and safety. Make your voice count today.
Add your name to the #WithRefugees petition to stand with the displaced Syrian people and all those forced to flee conflict.
The petition asks decision makers to ensure:
- Every refugee child gets an education
- Every refugee family has somewhere safe to live
- Every refugee can work or learn new skills to support their families
In September 2018 UNHCR will present the final petition to the United Nations General Assembly, sending a clear message to governments that they must protect the rights of people forced from their homes.
Send a clear message that you stand with refugees and demand their protection. Help spread the word by signing and sharing this petition with your friends and family today.
