People are sharing inspiring stories of resilience on World Refugee Day

World Refugee Day falls on a Thursday this year, and people have taken to the internet to share their unique experiences of being an immigrant – and their success stories.

The theme for 2019 is #StepWithRefugees, and around the world communities, schools, businesses and faith groups are showing their solidarity with refugees in a variety of ways.

The challenge instructs people to “walk, run, dance, swim 1km/mile or take any step with refugee” and then post a photo online and challenge three friends to take it a step further.

Over 70 million people have been forced to flee from their homes as a result of conflict or famine according to UNHCR.

With that in mind, people have been sharing stories of resilience in the face of intense hardship, displacement and suffering
