Every year on June 20th, the world celebrates World Refugee Day to "honor those who have been forced to flee".
At ReFOCUS we believe that day should focus on advocacy for refugee rights, which are very frequently overlooked or not acknowledged on purpose.
So today we are bringing several strong voices of people who went through the asylum process or are still in it. We want you to hear their thoughts on World Refugee Day, their situation and the process they went through. We want you to hear from them instead of about them.
