According to a report by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there were 79.5 million refugees worldwide in 2019. They were forced to flee to other countries due to persecution, conflict, violence, and human rights violations in their home countries.

Syrian refugees constituted the largest group globally, with 6,617,000 refugees originating from that country experiencing prolonged conflict. Syrians have been fleeing in large numbers since 2014, and by the end of 2019, they had sought refuge in 126 countries.

At the beginning of this decade, there were only 6,700 Venezuelan refugees. However, their numbers increased significantly in recent years as political and socio-economic conditions deteriorated. The UNHCR recorded 3,675,500 refugees from Venezuela by the end of 2019.
