World Refugee Day, observed June
20 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the situation of refugees
throughout the world.
The European Council on Refugees & Exiles (ECRE) is an Alliance
of refugee-assisting organisations who work together to promote the respect for
and protection of asylum-seekers and refugees.
This year ECRE has organised an Umbrella March, with the
umbrella as symbol of care and shelter for those fleeing persecution. The March
will take place in 8 European capitals simultaneously.
Join the Umbrella Parade, where asylum-seekers, refugees and
supporters will meet to celebrate the protection of refugees.
