UNITED NATIONS, April 4 (Xinhua) -- The UN Refugee Agency on Wednesday announced the #WithRefugees solidarity tour to raise awareness and inspire action for people who have been forced to flee conflict or persecution.

The tour will kick off on Friday with a sports day at Jordan's Za'atari refugee camp featuring international athletes, including Egyptian Modern Pentathlete Aya Medani, Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said at the daily news briefing.

Other events on the tour will include a fashion show in Chicago featuring fabrics made by refugees in Kenya, a refugee football match in Ireland, a photo exhibit in Paris, a week of events on Jeju Island, South Korea and judo competitions and workshops in South Africa, said the spokesman.

The tour will end on October 1 at the UN Refugee Agency's Nansen Refugee Award Ceremony in Geneva.

UN Refugee Agency says a record 65.6 million people are either refugees, asylum seekers or internally displaced across the globe.
