This year’s World Refugee Day offers a chance to reflect on the uncertainty faced by those forced to flee their homes, actor Cate Blanchett, a goodwill ambassador for the UN refugee agency, says as the world grapples with the unpredictability of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Oscar winner and UNHCR goodwill ambassador said the annual June 20 event came during a time of ‘challenge and reflection.’ “We’ve been forced to confront what uncertainty feels like and of course that is the
situation that the majority of refugees live with, year in, year out. I think that World Refugee Day couldn’t come at a better time because we can really think about how we can collectively build a stronger and safer and more humane world and that being inclusive is a superhuman power,” Cate Blanchett told Reuters in an interview.
