Refugee Issues


there are millions of people throughout
the world in need of protection and aid
hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
learning more about the world’s refugee
situation and what we can do to help so
can you explain to us what exactly is a
refugee a refugee is a person who has
been forced to flee their country to
cross a border because they are have a
fear of persecution for reasons of
political opinion religion race
nationality or social group
blue oh but enemies are Germany and
Italy desert on a jihad the
international community has agreed that
people do have to have this right to
seek protection but in order for it to
be real individual countries have to
allow people to come in the people who
are the victims of persecution are
actually the victims of the violation of
human rights I think if we think about
it like that and if you try to imagine
what we would do in a similar situation
what would you do if somebody came
knocking at your door
and threatened you what we can you knew
that you couldn’t go to the police how
does someone become a refugee for
example if you are a child in a country
where children are being forced into
being child soldiers or who are open to
being kidnapped by paramilitaries to be
taken off to be child soldiers and if
you try to decide who your family
decides we don’t want this to happen to
our child I think it’s impossible for
people here to imagine how could
somebody come off and take a child of
ten and take them off into the jungle
and make them into a soldier and feed
them drugs so that they’ll become
compliant to killers if that family were
to succeed in fleeing they would be
refugees unfortunately most people who
do need protection can’t get it but the
people who do manage to escape and the
people who
you managed to get to another country
need at least to be heard well question

way up
how many refugees are living in the
world right now by some estimates there
are over 10 million refugees in the
world some have been our recent refugees
for example refugees from Iraq when the
last few years have fled Iraq to go to
Syria and Jordan Afghan refugees who
have been in Pakistan for many many
years and in Iran another country that
we don’t think of as receiving refugees
they have close to a million Afghan
refugees at their housing in addition to
all these over 10 million refugees there
are also many more what we call
internally displaced people people who
have not crossed the border but who have
moved to another region of their country
fled or have been pushed because of war
or because of persecution or because
somebody wants their land
it’s not easy these days to find a place
of refuge often it’s the very people
that need protection that have
difficulty getting documents that have
difficulty crossing borders that had
difficulty getting on airplanes and what
we’re saying to the two people is think
about these things think about the need
for protection and let’s be generous
refugees are people and people have
human rights
