Seeking freedom from fear is at the heart of a refugee's flight from danger.

This year the Refugee Council, and other community groups, hope 'to draw

attention not just to the fear that compels refugees to run, but the relief they

feel when they are welcomed into another country and given the opportunity

to rebuild their lives'.

2009

In 2009 the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is globally promoting the theme of ‘Real People, Real Needs’. This corresponds to the Australian national theme of ‘Freedom from Fear’. Both themes aim to provide an important opportunity for asylum seekers and refugees to be seen, listened to and valued. Your contributions can make this happen.

M any countries and regions have been holding their own Refugee Days and even Weeks. One of the most widespread is Africa Refugee Day, which is celebrated on 20 June in several countries. As an expression of solidarity with Africa, which hosts the most refugees, and which traditionally has shown them great generosity, the UN General Assembly decided that, from 2001, 20 June would be celebrated as World Refugee Day. Refugee Week has been celebrated in Australia since 1986.

La possibilité/le desir de vivre a l'abri de la peur est une raison cle pour la refugie qui fuit la danger. Cette annee, le Conseil des Réfugié et d'autres groupes de citoyens éspèrent attirer l'attention non seulement sur la peur qui oblige les réfugiés de s'enfuir, mais aussi sur le soulagement qu'ils resentissent quand ils sont recus dans un pays d'acceuil/ accuilis dans un autre pays et jouissent de la possibilite de reconstruire leur vie.

‘La Libertad del Miedo’

Día Mundial del Refugiado 20 de Juno

Buscando la libertad del miedo, es en el corazon del refugiado un vuelo del peligro. Este año el Consejo de Refugiados de Australia con otras organizaciones, esperamos ilustrar no solamente el miedo que obliga a los refugiados a huir, sino que también ilustrar el alivio que ellos sienten cuando son apoyados en otro país y que tengan la oportunidad de reconstruir sus vidas.
