Beyond sensational headlines, there is a lot to learn about refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).<\/h2>\n<h3>Refugees Worldwide<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Every day, more than 44,000 people are forced to flee their homes due to conflict or persecution. That&#8217;s 1 man, woman, or child every 2 seconds!<\/li>\n<li>In total, around 68.5 million people in the world are refugees or internally displaced persons (IDPs).<\/li>\n<li>A refugee is someone who has had to seek safety in a country other than their own.<\/li>\n<li>An IDP is someone who has been displaced from their home or community but remains within their home country.<\/li>\n<li>More than 50% of the world\u2019s refugees are children.<\/li>\n<li>85% of refugees are hosted by developing countries.

Countries that have ratified the 1951 Refugee Convention are obligated to protect refugees in their territory.<\/li>\n<li>Refugees and asylum seekers have numerous rights, including the right to: not get sent back to their home country; not be punished for illegally entering countries that are party to the Convention and Protocol; housing; work; access to education; access to public assistance; access to courts; get identification and travel documents.
