24th Annual World Refugee Day

You’re invited to this free public event with presentations, food, entertainment, children’s activities,
community resources, & raffle prizes. This event, first recognized by the United Nations, highlights the plight and contributions of the millions of refugees all over the world. World Refugee Day events recognize the positive impact of refugees, and promote understanding of the reasons people seek sanctuary and how they integrate into their new communities through arts, culture and education. Refugees in Santa Clara County are from many regions of the world, including Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and are part of the region’s diversity. The Santa Clara County refugee population include asylum seekers, victims of human trafficking, survivors of torture, unaccompanied undocumented children and victims of work slavery and sexual and gender based violence. Many refugees lived in camps for decades, where they were deprived of basic human rights, including the freedom of movement and access to adequate medical care.
