Currently hundreds of thousands of Uyghur refugees and orphan kids are living in third countries to escape the Chinese Communist regime's persecution and cultural genocide in East Turkistan. They live in fear and have no place to go.

URRF needs dedicated volunteers to help the refugees during their settlement period, get their basic needs met and make our mission succeed.
URRF accepts donations from all generous people across the world. The services that URRF is providing require the necessary financial resources. Without your support and donations, our mission can not be accomplished.

The urgency of a response to the plight of Uyghur refugees around the world is growing. In many countries, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is unable to fulfill its mandate for a variety of interrelated reasons: the host country is not a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention; the host country places limits on UNHCR’s reach; or UNHCR’s efforts are ineffective and there are no contingencies in place to provide protections to refugees. Amid concerns about the insufficiency of international protections, the Chinese government’s economic and diplomatic enticements are rendering Uyghur refugees in second countries ever more prone to refoulement under bilateral agreements and informal arrangements brokered with Beijing. Despite an authoritative body of evidence documenting the scale and severity of human rights violations in the Uyghur Region,1 Beijing expects host countries to deport Uyghur refugees on demand. And meanwhile, China continues to harass and intimidate Uyghur refugees around the world, which includes the punishment of Uyghur refugees’ family members still in East Turkistan.
On February 1, 2023, MP Sameer Zuberi’s private member’s motion M-62,[1] tabled June 21, 2022, passed unanimously with 322 votes in the House of Commons and among the cabinet, including by PM Trudeau.
The motion calls on the Canadian government to resettle 10,000 Uyghur and other Turkic Muslim refugees into Canada starting in 2024, citing the Canadian parliament’s recognition of the Uyghur genocide in February 2021 and acknowledging the urgent need for Uyghurs in danger of refoulment to China from third-party states.
