"As long as there are wars and persecution, there will be refugees. On World Refugee Day, I ask you to remember them. Their story is one of resilience, perseverance and courage. Ours must be of solidarity, compassion and action."
-U.N. Secretary General António Guterres
June 20 is marked as United Nations World Refugee Day [1]. Follow Global Sisters Report's special series "Seeking Refuge" [2] this summer. New articles on aspects of life as a refugee — and how women religious are helping people navigate displacement and integration — are planned each week through mid-August.
