Cate Blanchett and Ben Stiller co-star in UNHCR campaign


16 12 2019

Celebrities including Cate Blanchett, Ben Stiller, David Morrissey, Benedict Cumberbatch, Adut Akech, Riz Ahmed, Amanda Palmer, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw make up the cast of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's latest social media campaign, #EveryoneCounts, coinciding with the launch of the first-ever Global Refugee Forum.

In the video, the campaign stars join refugees to challenge the rise of 'xenophobia, negative stereotyping and fear', and Blanchett, a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, said 'Whilst we look to global leaders meeting in Geneva this week to renew and remake commitments, everyone has a role to play in supporting refugees; to access education, employment and safe living conditions. Everyone counts, every voice, every action - however small - can make a difference'.
