Notes On Refugee Crisis : Refugee Protection And Assistance

Through out the world and over the centuries, societies have welcomed frightened, weary strangers, the victims of persecution and violence. This humanitarian tradition of offering sanctuary is often now played on the television screens across the globe as war and large-scale persecution produce millions of refugees and internally displaced persons. At the start of 21st century, protecting refugees means maintaining solidarity with the worlds most threatened, while finding answers tot eh challenges confronting the international system that was created to do just that.

A refugee is a person who was forced to leave their country. Whether it be from warfare or natural disaster, their homes are no longer safe to live in, so they need to relocate elsewhere. Once someone sets foot on the journey of becoming a refugee, they become vulnerable and dependent with no sense of what the future will bring. In an attempt to accommodate them, first world countries with the resources necessary to assist these refugees, are struggling to determine whether or not they should step-in and help. Some argue that taking them in could come with excessive consequences, while others believe they could be assets. Although there may be a few consequences, they are outweighed by the benefits and undeniable severity of the situation.

In this paper I will discuss about the Syrian refugees Crisis, the characteristics of the of Syrian refuges crisis, how similar or different it the Syrian refugee crisis is from other refugee crisis, how Syrian refugee crisis affects individuals, families, and communities, what relevant research exists on the Syrian refugee crisis, and what key strategies have been known to be useful in this crisis, how one promote resilience in this crisis and how the social workers personal value affect him/her in addressing this crisis.

The refugee crisis is a hotly debated and controversial topic all over the globe relevant to today. The rising number of refugees arriving in the European Union has significantly increased throughout the past few years. The controversy comes from not the refugees themselves, but from where they are emigrating from. Coming from extremely hostile and dangerous countries operated by the Islamic State militants, there is a sense of hysteria from the opposing side saying that there are risks that need to be factored in when accepting such a large amount of people from places where there are high concentrations of terrorism into their home countries. On the other side of the argument, the advocates for refugees are proclaiming that as humans we have moral obligations to give the quintessential helping hand to humans whenever one is in need, regardless of their situation or circumstances. Through social activism these proponents are seeking to

I think that the refugee crisis is very complicated. There are several factors that go into the idea of the US admitting more refugees. With the current terrorist threats, the bombing in Paris, the Minnesota mall attack, and the recent bombing in NYC (not yet confirmed if it is related to ISIS) the idea of letting more people into the US is hard to agree to. In addition, the US is struggling with the idea of immigration from Mexico, even though it has decreased.

    Refugees are people who are forced to flee their country because of persecution, natural disasters, and mainly war. When they leave their country their live essentially turn “inside out.” This happens when they are put into new experiences they are not used to and being bullied. In the novel, “Inside Out and Back Again,” Ha is living a normal life before the war. As the war is happening she goes through many things that make her life turn inside out. When she arrives in America it turns back again as she tries to start a new life.

There is a plethora of humanitarian and moral reasons for the United States of America to allow more Syrian refugees to seek resettlement here. The United States has resettled millions of refugees from all over the world, but all too often its humanitarian instinct has been hindered by paranoia and fear. This refugee crisis has been the worst since the Second World War as well as producing some of the same rhetoric about refugees as the postwar period. In my opinion, the United States, the most powerful country in the world, should accept this state of affairs and be a role model to the rest of the world. The pros of accepting refugees will greater weigh out the cons in the end.

Is the U.S. considered anti-immigrant or just playing it safe? As you read these two accounts, you will come to find out that they both discuss the issue and hardships of refugees and war. A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country because of a natural disaster like the Holocaust or an ISIS attack. A big issue that is dicussed in these articles is the amount of refugees being let into the country.

If we have proven in the following ways how it hurts the economy, that is can cause social division and hurting them violently, or dividing your own country and slowing down lawmaking we win this case. This resolution would go against its function and since the government is the actor it cannot go against its own functions. A government should not prioritize the humanitarian needs of refugees over its national interests because doing so can one repress the economies of participating nations and two overpopulate schools.

Granting a substantial amount of refugees access to a country cannot come without substantial consequence. By offering access to asylum, one is exposing the country to the problems such as crime, economic issues, social issues, and other issues that the refugees bear and only creating more problems and worsening already rampant problems. This topic isn’t saying to stop any flow of refugees, but instead of allowing anyone who wants refuge in, precautions need to be taken in order to prevent these problems. Allowing large amounts of refugees into a country without vetting or regulation, causes more problems than it solves.

According to the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR; 2016), there are roughly 14.4 million refugees are living worldwide today. A refugee, is a person who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her own home country because of a well-found fear of being persecuted for reasons of religion, race, nationality, political opinion, and/or membership in a particular social group (UNHCR, 2016). There are a lot vulnerable areas in the world such as Southeast Asia, Burma (Myanmar). Burma was a military junta of government led by military officials of more than five decades (CIA, 2016). Burmese military regime controlled the country with strict communism, economic hardship,

While Barnett’s article (2001) traced the evolution of causes and effects in UNHCR’s humanitarianism shift and its impact on demographics of refugee crises, it also explored the implication of its expansion on refugee rights and the increased risk of UNHCR becoming complicit with a strategy of containment and deterrence. Read alongside other articles by Goodwin-Gill (2008) and Loescher (2001 & 2014) one can form a better understanding of the global forces behind these changes.

A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to

The Refugee Agency UN says that at the end of 2012, 15.4 million refugees compelled to escape inside the fringes of their countries due to war and these numbers are increasing daily. 55% of refugees came from five war-affected countries: Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, and Sudan. 44% of refugees are less than 18 years old. Refugee children are more likely to have genuine issues linked with malnutrition, physical injuries, brain damage, and sexual or physical abuse. These problems directly affect the child’s cognitive, social, and emotional development leading to serious mental illnesses, including post-traumatic stress disorder and depression (Neugebauer, 2013).

The current refugee scene is facing many complications. The challenges these individuals face while moving to a new country has encouraged us to focus our project on providing refugees with the assistance they need to succeed. Exploring different areas such as connections and services through an interview process has given us a better insight into what path to take to better accommodate refugees with the challenges in their current country.
