Refugees- Intro

Refugee Definition:
“owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country or return there because there is a fear of persecution...”


Refugees are people who decided to leave everything they have ever known, fleeing with what they can carry to begin an unknown future in a new country, They usually make the decision only when there seems to be no other option for survival, or when the kind of survival they would experience at home is unbelievably brutal and stark. 
The presence of refugees and immigrants anywhere in the world indicates that something has gone seriously wrong, and therefore forces them into the desperate decision of fleeing their homelands.  That decision is usually caused by internal conditions that make life unbearable in the home country. 

The main causes of refugees are:
- Mistreatment of Minorities









- War








- Poverty









- Human Rights Violation









- Full Factors










- Ethnic, Political & Historical Legacies
