These refugee awareness inspirations take on the admirable task of attempting to end the struggle for safety that many people across the world face on an everyday basis. The young children, men and women that face these battles are often displaced by wars, environmental damages and other unfortunate circumstances.
People around the world have united to bring awareness to their needs through the use of campaigns, advertising, products and even architecture. Imaginative designers across the globe have envisioned smart structures that aid workers can easily bring out to help refugees find safety in shelter. Others have created awareness-raising jewellery out of bullets. To end the plight of refugees around the world, talented designers are bringing attention to their worthy cause. Take a pause on UNICEF's World Refugee Day to find out how you can help refugees worldwide.
