Refugee and Asylum Programs

Refugee and asylum programs provide protection for individuals fleeing danger or persecution in their home countries. Refugees are people who have been recognized outside their country and granted legal status to resettle elsewhere, often through international agencies like the UN. Asylum seekers are individuals already within a country's borders who request protection, undergoing a legal process to determine if they qualify as refugees. Both programs aim to offer safety, legal rights, and integration support for those unable to return home safely, addressing international responsibilities to protect human rights and prevent suffering.
