In France, the status of a refugee is often misunderstood and sometimes confused with that of a migrant. However, a refugee is someone forced to flee their country to escape persecution or conflict, seeking safety. This journey, often painful and extremely dangerous, is fraught with challenges. The UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, is committed to protecting these vulnerable individuals and giving them a chance to rebuild their lives in safety. In 2023, over 110 million people worldwide were forcibly displaced, a record number, with humanitarian needs continuously on the rise.
