World Refugee Day
In honour of World Refugee Day, we are pleased to share with you the latest videos from our #FaithOverFear campaign, a joint initiative of Religions for Peace, UNICEF, and a global coalition of religious leaders and organisations.
Faith Over Fear
Today Religions for Peace, UNICEF and a global coalition of religious leaders are launching #FaithOverFear. Faith Over Fear is a global campaign to inspire people of all faiths to welcome and help refugees. The campaign will share a series of stories about families of faith from around the world who have opened their hearts, homes, and communities to refugees. By lifting up these heartwarming examples, Religions for Peace hopes to contribute to a more welcoming environment for refugees around the globe.
