Izbjeglica

Izbjeglica, also known as a refugee, is a person who has been forced to flee their home country due to persecution, war, violence, or natural disasters. The term "izbjeglica" is derived from the Serbian word for "refugee," and it is used in various languages to describe individuals who have left their country of origin to seek safety elsewhere. Refugees often face significant challenges in their new environment, including language barriers, cultural differences, and limited access to basic services. They may also encounter legal and administrative hurdles when seeking asylum or permanent residency. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is a prominent organization that provides assistance and protection to refugees worldwide. The status of a refugee is typically determined by the country of asylum, which grants protection based on international law and conventions, such as the 1951 Refugee Convention. Refugees play a crucial role in the global community, contributing to the cultural, economic, and social fabric of their host countries. However, they also face numerous challenges, including discrimination, poverty, and limited access to education and healthcare.
