7. Temporary Protection

Temporary protection is a form of legal status granted to individuals fleeing conflict, violence, or disasters in their home countries. It allows them to stay in a host country for a limited time, providing safety and basic rights such as access to work, healthcare, and education. This protection is often granted in emergencies when refugees cannot return home safely. Temporary protection is not the same as permanent residency; it is intended to address immediate needs while longer-term solutions are considered. Once conditions improve, individuals may either return home or seek other forms of legal status.
