A refugee, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), is a person "forced to flee their own country and seek safety in another country. They are unable to return to their own country because of feared persecution as a result of who they are, what they believe in or say, or because of armed conflict, violence or serious public disorder." Such a person may be called an asylum seeker until granted refugee status by a contracting state or by the UNHCR if they formally make a claim for asylum.
A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee their home country to escape persecution based on their identity or beliefs, or due to armed conflict and violence, and cannot safely return. Understanding refugees matters because it involves recognizing the circumstances that drive people from their homes and the international legal protections designed to help those in such desperate situations.

Internally Displaced People (IDPs) are often called refugees, but they are distinguished from refugees because they have not crossed an international border, although their reasons for leaving their home may be the same as those of refugees.
