Who are Refugees
A refugee is a person forced to flee their home due to persecution on account of their religion, race, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
There are approximately 27 million refugees, and an additional 100 million forcibly displaced people worldwide. More than two-thirds of these individuals come from:
- Syria
- Congo
- Afghanistan
- South Sudan
- Burma
The majority of all refugees are women and children.
Less than 1% of refugees globally will be resettled in a third-world country, such as the United States.
Due to ongoing humanitarian crises throughout the world, Utah has seen refugees who arrive through a variety of different pathways. The term used to describe these refugees may vary depending on their arrival pathway.
Refugees coming to the United States undergo a rigorous screening process. For more detailed information about the United States refugee resettlement process, visit the United States Office of Refugee Resettlement website.
