Religions for Peace and UNHCR have a long-standing partnership, working together to promote the protection and well-being of those uprooted from their homes around the world. Faith communities play a key role in welcoming refugees and migrants and helping them rebuild their lives, and advocating with political leaders in favor of inclusion and solidarity.
Religions for Peace has worked with the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith and Local Communities to devise a guide to action for religious leaders and faith communities that includes introductory information on global responses to refugees and migrants, reflections on religious imperatives to welcome the stranger, and a set of guidelines to help religious leaders and communities respond to refugees and migrants as well as coordinate with other actors.
