World Refugee Day: The search for a land of freedom
Every day, people around the world make the difficult decision to leave their countries in search of safety and better lives.

Their hope of arriving safely is often dashed by experiences of trauma or torture at the other end

It called for an end to the suffering of over 3,000 migrant children who remain penned like animals in cages, sleeping alone under 68-cent blankets in freezing cells in US Border Patrol custody.
