30 years and still standing with the people in Ukraine: UNHCR opens photo exhibition on its work with and for the people in Ukraine

The UN Refugee Agency is launching a photo exhibition to highlight three decades of working with and for people affected by displacement and war.

To mark 30 years of presence, work and impact in Ukraine, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is launching a photo exhibition, which will start in the Museum of the History of the City of Kyiv on 20 June on the occasion of World Refugee Day, and then travel across the country.

The exhibition "Providing HOPE away from HOME" features 30 photos that capture significant milestones in UNHCR’s work in Ukraine — from supporting the return of Crimean Tatars to their homeland in the 1990s to assisting millions displaced and affected by a decade of war.

Visitors will also be able to listen to audio narratives from people supported by UNHCR throughout three decades, and from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, as well as from UNHCR’s Goodwill Ambassador, American actor Ben Stiller.

These first-hand accounts offer a glimpse into the remarkable resilience and courage of people who have been forced to flee from their homes and communities to save their lives and find safety and solutions.

"With this photo exhibition, we highlight three decades of working with and for the people in Ukraine, and of ensuring access to protection, humanitarian support and durable solutions for forcibly displaced and other war-affected people, returnees, refugees and stateless people across the country. We at UNHCR are grateful for the strong partnership and collaboration we have enjoyed with the Government of Ukraine and its authorities, regional and local communities throughout these years. We are very proud to have worked with and for the incredibly courageous and resilient people living in
