Tražitelji azila

Tražitelji azila su pojedinci koji su zatražili međunarodnu zaštitu, a čiji zahtjevi za statusom izbjeglice još nisu odobreni. U Republici Hrvatskoj strance koji traže zaštitu od progona u vlastitim zemljama primaju nadležna tijela (Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova) te im je na raspolaganju humanitarna i pravna pomoć NVO-a, uz potporu UNHCR-a. Tražitelji azila su uglavnom smješteni u prihvatnim centrima u Kutini i Zagrebu, u kojima i očekuju rješavanje svojih zahtjeva za azil.
