Due to continued conflicts around the world, the number of refugees seeking humanitarian aid continues to grow. From the battlefield of Syria to the jungles of Congo, the number of people running away from conflict zone continues to be a problem for international Aid organizations, countries hosting refugees and donors. Among the most affected are children. Before the Syrian crisis, Kenya a country in east Africa hosted the world’s largest refugee camp, Dadaab, the refugee camp is home to approximately half a million refugees fleeing the conflict in neighboring Somalia. Humanitarian organizations such as the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), Red Cross, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and donors spearhead the settlement on refugees.

The CCC community felt motivated to respond in Christian charity to the conditions represented by recent events in Syria, and to make plans for entering into a sponsorship of a Syrian refugee family. At the time of our last PC meeting, two Cathedral initiatives were involved with early stages of sponsorship planning, one through the Cathedral Justice Group, and the other, Vancouver Acts. At that time, PC appraised plans for entering into a refugee sponsorship, and created a sub-committee to work alongside these two efforts, to allow communication, and to offer support and assistance. The Refugee Sub-Committee organized to meet its purpose over the last month.

In her article “Small town welcomes 1,500 refugees a year” (The Guardian, 24 May 2017) Katy Long describes Clarkstown, Georgia. This small, multicultural town is known for their high percentage of refugee inhabitants.

Approximately 4.8 million refugees have fled to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq. Additionally, 6.6 million refugees are internally displaced inside of Syria. Most of these refugees are being treated as if they aren’t equal members of society, their rights are being stripped from them and they are being dehumanized through various poor treatment. Martin Luther King fought for the freedom of black people because they weren’t being given fair rights as equal human beings, they were being seen as lower than society, which is exactly what is happening to Syrian refugees. In some cases refugees aren’t only being treated as if they aren’t equal contributing members of society, but they are being completely disregarded in general.

A social justice related problem that concerns me, as a future social worker candidate is an immigrant child looking for help and fleeing to other countries to look for help. An example is the unaccompanied alien child law. Unaccompanied alien child (UAC) is a term defined by law as a child who has no lawful immigration stat¬us in the United States, who is not 18 years of age; and with respect to whom there is no parent or legal guardian in the United States. Under this law these young migrants receive certain protections under U.S. law. Children under the age of 18 traveling to other countries without their parents or guardian have always been a part of global migration flows.

The more powerless and vulnerable the individual, the more significant their ethical claim. Since each person, paying little respect to one's lawful status or geographic area, has a transcendent dignity that must dependably be regarded, individuals progressing ought to appreciate the full scope of human rights, and others have an obligation to see that they are regarded, secured and satisfied. "Refugees and asylum seekers are humans, and should enjoy the whole range of human rights. Unless there are compelling reasons to believe that refugees or asylum seekers represent a serious danger to the common good, they should not be interned. Furthermore they should have access to work and thus the opportunity to fulfil their duty to contribute to the common good” (Australians Human Rights Commission, 2014).

We observe today widescale human rights infringement of refugees and degradation of morality as individuals, including children, sit idle in war torn regions hoping for the chance to make a better life in America. Seeking protection, many brave and vulnerable individuals experience additional breaches of human rights as a consequence of mandatory detention. The United States holds in its hands the power to ensure all refugees are treated with dignity and regard for their basic human rights, and yet still struggles to assure the survival and the success of universal liberty due to xenophobia and bureaucratic interference. Unwilling to witness the continued undoing of human rights to which the United States has consistently been committed, this

Overall, the pursuits of life are taken away from refugees and with it their dignity as a human being is chiseled away. According to Catholic Social Teaching, all people possess dignity, yet through displacement large masses of people are continuously subjected to situations that leave them utterly un-empowered. What I feel this disconnect unveils is the importance of another key feature of Catholic Social Teaching, the promotion of justice. Although, not everyone is Catholic or religious, I think multitudes of individuals would agree that people hold the right to having dignity as a human. Therefore, one of the underlying themes of this film is how to help displaced

So, how should be the perfect refugee camp? _______ When for the first time in the human history, the population in the cities has overcome the rural populations [1], we still have thousands of people being forced to do the opposite journey: refugees from urban areas forced to leave everything they have, for a variety of reasons: war, climate, politics and resettle somewhere else: urban areas (Kamel Doräi 2010), rural environments and the "luckiest" ones: in refugee camps.

Leaders and governments around the world have labelled refugees as being a burden on their country either directly or indirectly. These leaders only see them as people who are trying to get into their country to escape the civil war, but fail to see that the refugees are also risking their lives in the process. At present, there are approximately 54.5 million refugees that are displaced, the largest refugee crisis the world has ever seen and they have nowhere to go. The question of doing the right thing and taking them in has been squashed due to various reasons and it appears to be that each country has adopted the ‘each man for himself’ policy by stating that it is their duty to only look after its citizens and no one else.

There are many issues regarding the welfare of children from all over the world. Children have been repeatedly impacted by wars and conflicts in their countries. Moreover, many children from some areas do not have access to their rights such as education and health and have to suffer from discrimination, violence, abuse and sexual and economic exploitation. After the World War II, Children from all over Europe had to suffer the aftermath of the war. This is when the United Nations stepped in and created United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, or as today’s shorter term, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in December 1946 with the sole purpose to lessen the suffering by providing foods, clothing and health care.
