How do you say HOPE in your own language? However you say it, hope means something different to each of us. For refugees, hope can be: 💙 being able to go to school 💙 being able to work and provide for your family 💙 the dream of going home #TranslationDay

Asylum saves lives. No one should be sent back to a place where they are in danger. Those fleeing war and persecution deserve safety—and when safe options exist, traffickers lose power. #UNGA
