According to the United Nations, by the end of 2021, 89.3 million people have been forced to migrate from all over the world. Various causes of displacement include human rights violations, conflicts, and incidents of persecution. Turkey, Colombia, Uganda, Pakistan, and Germany are among the countries that provide shelter to refugees. In these pictures of the French news agency AFP, the difficulties faced by the refugees are clearly reflected.
Over the years, there have been several incidents of migrant boats sinking in the sea, in which hundreds of people have died.
After the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, most of the Afghan citizens fled the situation and sought refuge in other countries. One of them, a 16-year-old Afghan refugee, is forced to live in a camp in France.
In various countries, the refugees have also faced severe criticism and opposition from local citizens. Right-wing parties protested the move to set up a center for refugees in western France.
