UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency works to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge, having fled violence, persecution or war at home. Since 1950, UNHCR has faced multiple crises on multiple continents, and provided vital protection and assistance to refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced and stateless people, many of whom have nobody left to turn to.

They help to save lives and build better futures for millions forced from home. UNHCR protects people forced to flee their homes as well as stateless persons. They deliver life-saving assistance in emergencies, safeguard fundamental human rights, and help find long-term solutions so refugees can find a safe place to call home.
