Based on the "Yokohama City Ordinance on Promotion of International Peace", Yokohama City promotes initiatives that contribute to international peace, such as international exchange, international cooperation, and multicultural coexistence, and creates opportunities to think about peace with citizens.
Yokohama International Peace Lecture will be held entitled "Support for refugees and UNHCR around the world-Everyone, anywhere, anytime, for the right to seek security." The lecturer is Ritsu, Chief Deputy Representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Japan.
More than 1% of the world's population has escaped from home due to conflict or persecution. It has increased further due to the Ukraine crisis, with over 100 million people in May this year.
Why don't you deepen your understanding of the rapidly increasing number of refugees in the world and reconsider the importance of peace?
