Today, over 122 million people have been forced to flee their homes because of persecution, conflict, and violence. Of those, over 43 million are refugees—individuals who have fled their country due to fear of persecution on account of political opinion, religion, race, nationality, or membership of a particular social group.
More than half of the world’s refugees come from protracted and complex humanitarian crises, including crises in Venezuela, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Emerging crises, such as the one in Sudan, are forcing people to flee their homes in record numbers. Refugees from these countries risk their lives to flee their homes to find safety.
