UNHCR Türkiye marked World Refugee Day with a photography exhibition, ‘Life Through My Eyes’, originating from a series of photography workshops where Turkish and refugee children living in Türkiye’s southeastern province, Mardin, came together to reflect the environment they live in through their own lenses.

By the end of 2021, those displaced by war, violence, persecution, and human rights abuses stood at 89.3 million, up 8 per cent on a year earlier and well over double the figure of 10 years ago. It includes 27.1 million refugees and asylum seekers as well as the 53.2 million people displaced inside their borders by conflict. Since then, the Russian invasion of Ukraine – causing the fastest and one of the largest forced displacement crises since World War II – and other emergencies, from Africa to Afghanistan and beyond, pushed the figure over the dramatic milestone of 100 million. Each year, World Refugee Day is marked by a variety of events in many countries around the globe to help focus global attention on the plight of those fleeing conflict.
