Throughout Australia's history, asylum seekers and refugees have had a significantly important and positive effect on the nation and its society. They both have had fundamentally important impacts on Australia. Refugees and asylum seekers have two distinct meanings, an asylum seeker is an individual who is seeking protection in another country but their claims have not yet been accepted and are in a review phase they will not be allowed in the country and are denied work rights. While a refugee is a person who has fled their country of origin due to many internal problems and is unable to return, their claims have been accepted by the country that they have sought asylum for and is been let in the country. Some of the important and crucial

Human beings are obligated to treat other human beings with respect and kindness. When they aren’t fulfilling their duties as human beings, it is also a person’s duty to stand up for each other and keep peace, morality, and humanity at the center of life. Syrian refugees are the unfortunate group of people that have been affected by the negligence of humankind. They are being dehumanized by their own people and by treatment that has no excuse or justification to be executed. The same crisis that is taking place in the middle east can happen anywhere at anytime, all it takes is corruption and humanity’s inherently evil nature to dismantle moral civilization.

Specifically these three questions asked were 1) If they reported to having PTSD symptoms upon arrival, and 2) if they had used metal healthcare provider within the first year of resettlement (Lamkaddem, Stronks, Devillé, Olff, Gerritsen, & Essink-Bot, 2014).

Since 1992 and under the Migration Act, asylum seekers that arrive to Australia without a valid visa must be held in an immigration detention until they are granted a visa or removed from the (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2016). Although this law is effective, it is obvious that this is not the best option for the country, and is not working as planned. If an asylum seeker arrives to Australia without a visa, or ‘unauthorised’, they must be held in mandatory detention whilst their refugee claims are decided, (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2005) along with their health, identity and security check to be completed. These processes can be lengthy and difficult, meaning that the asylum seeker or refugee may be held in detention for much longer than needed.

This comprehensive annotated bibliography discusses about the poor mental health of the refugees and asylum seekers under detention in developed countries. This sits within the “Social Work Practice in Mental Health” and “Social Work with Refugee Survivors of Torture and Trauma” categories of Social Work fields of practice (Alston and McKinnon, 2005) and uses sources from Australian publications on these issues. The sources cited suggest that due to the large number of refugees and asylum seekers, governments of developed countries have implemented policies to deter people from seeking asylum such as immigration detention policies, strict visa restrictions, rigorous border checks and the stopping of voyages of vessels suspected of carrying smuggled asylum seekers (Silove et al. 2000). The refugees and asylum seekers go through tremendous amount of mental suffering and the worst affected are small children and adolescents.

This is the phenomenon in which human dignity is being stripped from refugees. To begin, people displaced are left with no sense of security; thus, leading to a deep sense of hopelessness as their life and those under their care is all in the hands of other people. Next, refugees are often mistreated and have a stigma around them. One man interviewed talked of the shame induced upon him due to being a stateless drifter, although his position in life was entirely out of his control. Finally, displaced people cannot advance their situation as jobs are not viable and their youth are not receiving an educated.

The foundations for protecting refugees and migrants are a humane approach to human suffering and adherence to international humanitarian law.

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.

A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their home country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. There are many different types of refugees, these include refugees who are escaping war, social discrimination, racial discrimination, religious persecution, those who are seeking aid after a natural disaster, political unrest, and those who fear for their lives and the lives of their family. These people are given refugee status and are placed in designated refugee camps across the country where they are supposed to be cared for and educated, but this is not happening. Many of the countries only provide shelter for the refugees but do not provide the rest of the basic needs. There are many factors that contribute to a person becoming a refugee these include war, famine, racial prejudice, religion, harassment or torture due to political views, nationality, and natural disaster.

Emigration, the act of such persons leaving their country and heading to a country of foreigners for different reasons. Immigration has never been an easy choice, but recently factors have made it easier. Immigrants, in my point of view, can be divided into two kinds, the first are people leaving their countries looking for a source of money and escaping the struggle of poverty, and the other kind are people looking for a peaceful life with no bombs damaging their hometowns every day, escaping wars and political persecutions looking for the freedom they have always been missing. I see that the immigration crisis nowadays is in its worst, as we can see, according to the UNHCR (The UN Refugee Agency), there are 65.6 million displaced people worldwide,
