Are you a refugee, asylum-seeker or stateless person looking for help? Visit the HELP site to find support and services from UNHCR.
In 2024, Peru – home to 1.6 million forcibly displaced Venezuelans and over half a million asylum-seekers – saw increased challenges for refugees and migrants due to tighter entry restrictions, rising xenophobia, and political unrest.
Since 2018, UNHCR has been responding to the growing needs of refugees, asylum-seekers, migrants, and host communities through humanitarian assistance and protection efforts. Working closely with the government, UN agencies, and partners, UNHCR implements interventions in Lima and eight regions, supporting access to documentation, basic services, and safe integration pathways at national, regional, and local levels.
