Hmong refugees
Hmong refugees are individuals from the Hmong ethnic group who fled their home countries—primarily Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand—due to conflict, persecution, and political turmoil, especially after the Vietnam War. Many sought safety in countries like the United States, France, and Australia, often facing challenges in resettlement, adapting to new cultures, and overcoming language barriers. Their migration reflects a desire for safety and stability, and their communities maintain cultural traditions while integrating into their new societies. The Hmong refugee experience highlights resilience and the ongoing process of cultural preservation amid relocation and change.
