Detailed explanation-1: -A refugee is someone who fled his or her home and country owing to “a well-founded fear of persecution because of his/her race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion”, according to the United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fear of persecution is the basis of refugee claims. Persecution occurs when human rights violations or threats are sustained or systematic and governments either fail to protect their citizens or, in some cases, actively participate in the violations.

Detailed explanation-3: -Refugees are people who have been forced to flee their home country because of war, persecution, or violence. To be granted refugee status, they must establish a well-founded fear of danger or of persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social or ethnic group.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are many reasons why it might be too difficult or dangerous for people to stay in their own countries. For example, children, woman and men flee from violence, war, hunger, extreme poverty, because of their sexual or gender orientation, or from the consequences of climate change or other natural disasters.

Detailed explanation-5: -The United Nations has described the Rohingya as “the most persecuted minority in the world.” They have been denied citizenship since 1982, making them the largest stateless population. These circumstances also make them extremely vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, and sexual and gender-based violence.
