The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (www.unhcr.org/en-us/) was established to lead and coordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide. Striving to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees, the agency has helped an estimated 50 million people restart their lives in the last 70 years. During the first half of 2021 alone, 142,900 refugees returned or were resettled.

Today, a staff of around 7,300 staff working in 135 countries continues to help an estimated 26.6 million people find safe refuge in other countries.
