About this tool
The World Refugee Day Countdown shows exactly how much time is left — in days, hours, minutes, and seconds — until World Refugee Day, updating in real time.
When is World Refugee Day?
World Refugee Day is observed on June 20 every year. If today's date has already passed this year's date, the countdown automatically switches to next year's occurrence.
What is World Refugee Day?
Designated by the United Nations in 2001, the day honors the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution, and raises awareness of refugees' needs and rights.
Why use a countdown?
A countdown is useful for humanitarian organizations and community groups planning awareness events or fundraising drives ahead of the day.
