Refugees International

Refugees International focuses on the important refugee, displacement, humanitarian, and human rights issues that need urgent attention and action. Our advocates travel to some of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises to investigate first-hand the challenges displaced people face, create policy solutions, and demand action. We advocate for lifesaving assistance, human rights, and protection for displaced people and promote solutions to displacement crises. Our powerful advocacy helps focus planning in the international response to ensure that resources go to those who need it most. We do not accept any government or UN funding, ensuring the independence and credibility of our work.
