The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is the refugee agency of the United Nations mandated under the 1951 Refugee Convention to provide international protection, provide basic assistance and identify solutions for refugees. During times of displacement, UNHCR works to provide legal and physical protection and minimize the threat of violence.
In Bangladesh, UNHCR works with partners to support the Government of Bangladesh to provide essential services like basic shelter, food, water, and medical care and to meet the protection needs of refugees, including special services for women, children and persons with disabilities.
UNHCR’s support is extended to host communities while continuously working towards solutions to ensure that refugees can return in a safe, dignified, voluntary and sustainable once conditions in Myanmar allow.
