ABPCA Bill Id:HR 33 (
Author:McCarty) – As Introduced Ver:May 2, 2019
SUBJECT: World Refugee Day.
SUMMARY: Declares June 20, 2019, as World Refugee Day and reaffirms the bipartisan commitment of the United States to promote the safety, health, and well-being of the millions of refugees and displaced persons who flee war, persecution, and torture in search of peace, hope, and freedom. Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative findings:
- World Refugee Day is a global day to honor the courage, strength, and determination of the women, men, and children who are forced to flee their homes under the threats of conflict, violence, and persecution.
- There are nearly 65,300,000 displaced people worldwide, the highest levels ever recorded, including almost 21,300,000 refugees, 40,800,000 internally displaced people, and 3,200,000 people seeking asylum.
- Children account for 51 percent of the refugee population in the world, millions of whom are unable to access basic services including education.
- Refugees who are women and girls are often at a greater risk of sexual violence and exploitation, forced or early marriage, human trafficking, and other forms of gender-based violence.
- The United States provides critical resources and support to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other international and nongovernmental organizations working with refugees around the world.
- Since 1975, the United States has welcomed more than 3,000,000 refugees who have resettled in communities across the country. Since the enactment of the United States Refugee Act of 1980, the State of California has greatly benefited from being a national leader in welcoming refugees from all faiths and regions of the world.
- The well-established refugee communities in the State of California have significantly strengthened the worldwide economic position of California and contributed to advancing the state as the sixth largest economy on earth.
