What are Refugees Connected to?
By: Dana, Filippo, Abu and Mark
War
People flee from their homes and become refugees for many different reasons, like war between countries or civil war, pressure of time, tribal groups, religious groups or members of diplomatic organizations. People may be tortured because they belong to a different social group. In some countries, women who refuse to obey the rules to their families’ or communities’ social traditions are targeted, for example dressing or behaving in a certain way.
Poverty
Refugees are poor because after they flee their homes and countries and become refugees in other countries, they are stuck in refugee camps and don’t have a job. They rely on the camp providing them with food and water. Some refugees are able to enter the country and get a job without going to a refugee camp. This is illegal.
