The Refugee Convention was built on a powerful belief: that protecting people forced to flee is a responsibility we all share.
For 75 years, that promise has been upheld through solidarity. Together, we can help keep that promise alive.

- "The Convention’s architects understood that refugee protection requires secure borders and clear rules... They also understood something deeper: that shared humanity creates obligations as well as interests. 75 years later, that insight remains as relevant as ever."Policies can be reworked to help manage borders and protect those in genuine need, says Barham Salih, the UN’s refugees commissioner economist.com/by-invitation/…
- For 75 years, one promise has endured: people forced to flee have the right to seek safety and protection. That promise matters as much today as it did when the Refugee Convention was adopted. Today and every day, we will keep showing up until everyone is safe.
- Times change. The need for protection doesn't. Until everyone is safe, we keep showing up.
- Every weekend across London Breadwinners sell freshly baked bread at local markets. We visited them in 2023 to find out how managing the stalls helps refugees settle in, learn valuable skills and feel trusted. #ThrowbackThursday #GreatBritishWelcome
