Granting Refugees Dignity, Wherever They Are
Displaced children and adults can wait decades to return home or be resettled – research and policies must keep pace with developments.
The Importance of Studying States’ Commitments to Asylum and Resettlement
More than four million people have fled Ukraine since Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion. Half of the nation’s children are displaced. It is important to study states’ commitments to asylum and resettlement and consider how these outcomes affect individual well-being, public health, the economy, and political stability. However, researchers and policymakers may overlook another set of critical questions when focusing narrowly on these endpoints.
The Impact of Displacement on Individuals and Communities
Displacement can have a significant impact on individuals and host communities. We must understand the effects of displacement on the mental, social, and economic health of displaced individuals and host communities. We should explore ways to enhance the well-being, resilience, and integration of displaced individuals and host communities.
Improving Policies and Programs for Displaced Persons
It is important to improve policies and programs related to displaced persons and provide the necessary support for them. We must work to provide housing, education, healthcare, and employment opportunities for the displaced. These policies and programs should be inclusive, sustainable, and take into account the needs, rights, and dignity of displaced persons.
International Cooperation to Address the Refugee Crisis
There must be strong international cooperation to address the refugee crisis. Countries must work together to provide financial support, resources, and technical expertise to host countries and NGOs working in the field of refugees. The international community must play an active role in protecting the rights of refugees, enhancing their dignity, and providing opportunities for better lives.
Raising Public Awareness and Changing Public Perception of Refugees
We must work to raise public awareness and change the public perception of refugees. We should strive to promote understanding, empathy, and tolerance toward refugees and avoid stereotypes and discrimination. We should promote values of respect, cooperation, and solidarity in dealing with refugees and work towards building inclusive and equitable communities for all.
