How Can One Challenge Human Service Professionals Faced After Learning About The Somali Refugee Refuge

The Australian Human Rights Commission headed an inquiry into the children living conditions in detention centres and through this inquiry accumulated evidence of human rights breaches, breached by to Australian Government in relation to children. One such area they documented was concerning the provision of clothing and footwear provided to children. After conducting this inquiry they found that the delivery of essential goods was inadequate for many children in detention centres. A 13 year-old girl living on Nauru explained her struggles living with little clothing,

In society, there always has, and will continue to be groups who are demonised by civilians and authority alike. Erich Goode and Nachman Ben-Yehuda define moral panics as a “scare about a threat, or supposed threat from deviants or ‘folk devils’” who are thought to be guilty of “menacing a society’s culture, way of life, or central values” (1994, p.2). In other words, the concept denotes that by hyperbolising societal concerns, terror is generated and a caricature is created of both the situation and the accused involved. Moral panics are intended to be applicable to multiple topical debates, ranging from Bikie Gangs to online predators. The case study of Middle Eastern, African and Southeast Asian refugees is an ongoing discourse that demonstrates

In analyzing the external risk, financial, natural/hazard catastrophe, armed, aggressive or physical threats, active shooters, bomb threats, chemical and hazardous materials and child abuse/child neglect were all ranked as major impact with various likelihoods ranging from possible, unlikely (bomb threats) to rare (chemical and hazardous materials).

America is a great place. It is filled with hope, dreams, love, and success. Immigrant families choose to come over to America because of those reasons. These families have the American Dream in mind. One particular group that comes to the United States is the Somali Refugees. The Somali Refugees see America as their second chance and lucky them, America is able to give it to them. There is one problem though. Many Americans are not willing to contribute or agree to help the Somali Refugee population. Somali Refugees go through a lot all because of their culture and Americans should help them feel welcomed and wanted here.

In order for countries and states to run efficiently and effectively, they need a system to make sure that chaos is not created. Some countries and states use a political system called "democracy" in order to run things smoothly. What is a democracy? Karl and Schmitter (1991, 76) say that "Modern political democracy is a system of governance in which rulers are held accountable for their actions in the public realm by citizens, acting indirectly through the competition and cooperation of their elected representatives". Basically to be considered democratic, citizens of the country vote and elect an official who represents his/hers people's expectation and needs publically (Schmitter and Karl 1991). They compete with other officials for positions

As a volunteer at the RefugeeOne, organization, I have learned about how does the nonprofit organization brands itself, and how do they receive funding. RefugeeOne not only is incorporated as an independent nonprofit organization, but also it is a refugee resettlement agency that provides a full range of services to refugees resettled in the Chicago area.

Refugee’s lives turn “inside out” by separation, no choices, and traveling. Lives are turned inside out by no choice in what they want. In the article, “Refugees: Who, Where, Why?” it says, “Since early times large groups of people have been forced to flee their homelands.” Overall this tells me even if they wanted to stay with all of the chaos going on they couldn’t. Separation also turns lives inside out. I know this because in the poem “Watch over us page 50,” it says,” father watches over us even if he’s not here…Uncle son tells us to be ready any day.” This explains that with father not being there, hopes can be down and they can struggle more. Traveling for Ha also turns them inside out. In the poem, “Last Respects.” Page 85 it says,”

Australia ‘s dilemma with boat arrival asylum seekers has seen for an arduous process that has cost many men, women and children quality of life. This briefing paper will outline the key issues endured by those hoping to seek asylum in Australia, whilst in examination of existing non-government organizations, proposing the solution of an Asylum Seeker Help Center (ASHC) based in Indonesia.

A Somalia refugee couple, Agnes and John, is going to meet me, a qualified social worker, in a Refugee Resource Service. My role requires me to have a serious preparation for the meeting as the first impression with a social worker in Australia and how the couple is treated in the first meeting would usually determine their attitude to Australia, their trust in institutions and the people around them, which in turn would affect their ability to adapt with new life here.

Not a lot of people think this but immigrants help the community in a positive way. Immigrants can bring over food, cultures, holidays and much more. I read a story about a kid named Karim and he helps the US by teaching people about his culture and that immigrants aren't all bad people. Karim helps his home country Somalia because he and his dad sends remittances back to their family and some of the money goes to the government. Some of the pull factors that caused him to come to the US are that he wanted a good education and he wanted to work for his dad in the shop that they own. One of the push factors that caused him to leave is that there is a civil war going on in Somalia. I learned that approximately 100,000 Somali born people lived

In my examination of the case of Nila, the Afgani refugee, I will address her lack of engagement in schooling, by assessing both the psychological and envoronmental contributors to her situation.

In 2011, Dadaab, Kenya received an influx over a hundred forty thousand new immigrants fleeing the effects of a severe drought in Somalia. Currently, the total population of refugees living in both official UNHCR camps, as well as the unofficial camps that surround these, is approaching half a million people. The Dadaab refugee camp is well beyond the capacity it was built for and is struggling to keep up with the demand. Children are among the most unfortunate victims. Not only do some die even before making to the camp because of the treacherous journey that must be taken to get there, but it is also estimated that nearly thirty percent of the refugee children are malnourished. This paper will examine the UNHCR's response to the crisis that is crisis that is occurring in Kenya and discus what actions might be taken to help mitigate further suffering.

The influx of Somalians to Minnesota has had many affects, some positive, some not so positive. While the refugees have taken many of the undesirable, unskilled jobs that many native Minnesotans refused to take, many of them were skilled employees, such as doctors or lawyers, in their home country. Because of licensing discrepancies, they cannot land similar jobs in the United States. This means that not only can these skilled professionals practice and enjoy the same benefits of their school as they had in Somalia, but Minnesota cannot benefit from their knowledge either. This causes both parties to be mutually stifled. The majority of the Somalian work force has taken manual labor jobs, or restaurant jobs that require little to no knowledge

When talking about all the horrifying incidents she never froze or delayed her answers. When I asked her about a memorable moment during her experience she said, “I remember walking for days and on one of the days I came across a rabbit, I was really excited to play with it because I was the youngest and had noone to play with” (Guled). I could see the innocence in Kadra face, because she was smiling as she was talking about it. A gruesome massacre leaves your country shattered and misplaced and all she could remember was a rabbit. I think that is hope for her country that no matter what they’ve been through there is hope.

Our accomplishments include our home-visit support program that continues to empower refugee families with household management skills; and supporting and interpreting for them through crisis situations; English literacy classes; and our healthy family programing, which for the last four years has hosted a health and wellness resource picnic catering to the African refugee communities specifically, and the larger Milwaukee communities in general. The picnic also celebrates and shares aspects of the African culture. In 2016, we were the recipient of a Reasons for Hope MLK fund grant. We were able to host a successful social event that promoted peace and understanding among Asian, Latina, African American, and African immigrant/refugee communities
