The first global platform devoted to family reunification for refugees and other beneficiaries of international protection

Family unity is a human right. When forced to flee their homes to escape conflict, war or persecution, families may be torn apart and remain separated for long periods. Governments are responsible for protecting and restoring family life for refugees through family reunification procedures.

As the first global platform on family reunification for refugees, the Global Family Reunification Network (FRUN) brings together key stakeholders to promote and facilitate meaningful access to family reunification for people in need of international protection.
