Forced displacement is not by choice. When refugees flee for their lives, they do not have time to compare whether taking the plane or the train would be the best option. Often by foot, displacement is sudden, unplanned, and desperate. Not an act of luxury but to save lives.
On World Refugee Day (June 20), with 110 million forcibly displaced people, including over 35 million refugees, we call for more solidarity to include refugees in the communities where they have sought safety after fleeing conflict and persecution.
