Only Rape! Human Rights and Gender Equality for Refugee Women
This book charts the roller coaster ride taken by the authors over the past 33 years, in the ongoing fight to acknowledge, prevent, and respond to the rape and sexual abuse of women in conflict and displacement situations. They have worked with an international network of academics, refugee women, and human rights activists in 22 countries. The story moves between refugee camps and the United Nations, refugee settlements in cities and national governments. Theory and ethical research methods are an important part of the story. At times it is very confronting, sometimes amusing and often uplifting.
Refugee Women--still at Risk in Australia
This report surveys the experiences of a sample of refugee women in their first two years in Australia. It identifies their resettlement needs and how well these needs are met by existing services. The research was instigated by the Australian National Consultative Committee on Refugee Women (ANCCORW), which was formed in 1989 in response to an initiative of UNHCR and the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) that the plight of refugee women should be made a priority issue until the end of the decade. The Introduction to the report contains a literature review and a background discussion of problems common to refugee and other migrant women and the additional problems of ref...
The Longest Journey
Over the past five years more than 25,000 Africans have arrived in Australia under the federal government's humanitatian resettlement program. Some have spent a decade or more in refugee camps in remote regions of East Africa: years of inadequate food, enforced inactivity and the threat of violence. Hundreds of thousands are still stranded in the camps. Australia is one of only a dozen western countries that resettle refugees, but how fair is the resettlement process? Does it always help the neediest of all refugees?
Health in Diversity – Diversity in Health
European public discourse often frames (forced) migration solely as a security issue and ignores the implications of societal diversity for health, quality-of-life and well-being, in both Africa and Europe. The present volume offers an interdisciplinary and international look at the relationship between refugees, diversity, and health, including health care policies, socio-political framework conditions, environmental factors, the situation in refugee camps, quality-of-life approaches and economical perspectives.
Protracted Displacement in Asia
In a protracted displacement situation, refugees are sequestered in camps without right of mobility or employment; their lives remain on hold and stagnate in a state of limbo for a long period. This book reviews the situation and results of research and policies that have left refugees as a forgotten group in protracted situations. The work features case studies by experts who conducted field work examining long-term protracted refugee situations in Nepal, Thailand and Bangladesh, the protracted internally displaced (IDP) situation in Sri Lanka, and the refugee and IDP situation in Afghanistan. Also discussed is an emerging protracted refugee and IDP problem in Iraq. The volume concludes with an analysis of the lessons learned and the applications for policy, and incorporates a valuable bibliography detailing research in this hugely important area. This is a critical resource for academics and policy makers concerned with migration and governance issues.
Globalization and Social Transformation in the Asia-Pacific
The contributors engage with a range of critical and contemporary issues of two key societies in the Asia-Pacific region, Australia and Malaysia. These include foreign policy and national security; multiculturalism and citizenship; the middle class; global governance; migrants and international students.
Children and Childhoods 3
Immigrant and Refugee Families is about crossing borders – something that many people do every day. Crossing borders is not a new endeavour. This activity has a protracted history and can be traced back to before the Common Era. Sometimes people choose to cross borders, perhaps seeking new adventure, employment or personal fulfilment. Sometimes people are forced to flee their country of origin in an effort to avoid armed conflict or abuse of their human rights. The shaping of national policies and the manner in which a nation positions itself on the international stage draw heavily on crossing borders, both inward and outward. Additionally, there exists an obligation to understand relation...
