2025 Palestine Refugee Agency Advocacy Awards
Palestine Refugee Agency’s Advocacy Awards brings together passionate defenders of refugees and celebrates the tireless efforts of refugee leaders and civil society activists who dedicate themselves to humanitarian causes. The event raises funds to support our shared work to advance the rights and safety of people seeking refuge.
This year’s event celebrated community, and the resilience we build when we come together in the fight for refugee rights. The evening honors the memory of Palestine Refugee Agency founders Sue and Charlie Morton, whose lifelong dedication to justice inspires faith in the vision for a more welcoming world that we work each day to manifest together.
