2. Today's topic
Refugees in Japan face several challenges, including:
* **Strict refugee recognition process:** Japan has a very low refugee recognition rate, meaning few applications for asylum are successful. This is due to Japan's narrow definition of a refugee and a complex application process.
* **Limited support for asylum seekers:** Asylum seekers in Japan often face difficulty finding work and accessing essential services like healthcare while their applications are being processed.
* **Detention:** Asylum seekers whose applications are rejected may be detained for long periods, sometimes in harsh conditions.
