Kakuma Refugee Camp |
Each
year, on June 20, the United Nations marks World Refugee Day; a time to
recognize the contributions of refugees to their communities around the world.
Refugees
are people who are forced to flee their home countries due to political
persecution, war, famine, and other causes of forced migration. The moment they
cross the borders of foreign lands, migrants are known as "refugees"
— a brand that doesn't only degrade their status, but also subjects them to
indifference to their basic human needs.
