What do migrant, immigrant and asylum mean?

Um migrant is a person who moves from one place to another, whether within the same country or between different countries, in search of better living conditions, employment opportunities, education or to reunite with family. Migrating can be a voluntary decision and can occur both internally and internationally.

Already the term immigrant refers to an individual who settles in a country other than the one in which he or she was born or holds citizenship. The immigration process involves entry and permanent establishment in this new country. Immigrants generally seek a better quality of life, security, political stability or economic opportunities in their destination country.

Finally, the asylum is legal protection provided to people who are fleeing persecution and violation of fundamental rights in their home country. Asylum seekers are considered potential refugees and seek shelter in another country that can offer them safety and protection. The granting of asylum is based on international treaties and specific laws that guarantee the protection of refugees' human rights.

According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), in 2021, the world had an estimated 82,4 million forcibly displaced people, including refugees, asylum seekers and internally displaced people. These figures highlight the importance of addressing issues related to migration, immigration and asylum in a comprehensive and humanitarian way.
