Introduction
The Danish Refugee Council assists refugees and internally displaced persons across the globe: we provide emergency aid, fight for their rights, and strengthen their opportunity for a brighter future.

We work toward successful integration and – whenever possible – for the fulfillment of the wish to return home.
