Refugee Protection

Refugee protection refers to the legal and humanitarian measures provided to individuals who flee their countries due to persecution, conflict, or violence. These individuals, known as refugees, often face serious threats to their safety or freedom based on factors like race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a social group. Countries that participate in international agreements are expected to grant refuge and provide safety, including the right to seek asylum, access to legal processes, and sometimes support for basic needs. The aim is to ensure refugees can live safely and with dignity, free from the fears that forced them to leave.
