Refugees: Reasons Why Women Flee War

Introduction / Papers Many women around the world are looking for evacuation centers to evade famine, violence, war, or poverty. Refugees are those who fear persecution and have escaped their homeland, except for people who can not return for ethnicity, religion, political opinion, or for members of a particular social group. Interestingly, most people who are refugees are women and children. Since 1975, the United States has accepted more than 3 million refugees from all over the world.

These people are looking for safety anywhere nearby towns, schools, residences, camps, even forests and fields, wherever they can find. Internally displaced people, including refugees due to civil war and natural disasters, are the largest group under the aegis of UNHCR. Unlike refugees, internally displaced persons are not protected by international law or are legally protected by their own government, so they are eligible to receive multiple types of assistance.
