The number of refugees arriving in Brazil has increased dramatically in recent years, rising over 1466% from 2010 to 2014. This growing refugee population poses challenges for Brazilian public policy and institutions in ensuring their rights and integration. While Brazil has expressed a willingness to welcome refugees through international agreements and statements by the president, there is still a need for coordinated national public policies on refugee issues and immigration to facilitate social, cultural and economic inclusion of refugees in Brazil. The experiences of refugees seeking to rebuild their lives underscores the ongoing responsibilities of states in protecting displaced people and addressing the root causes of conflicts that generate mass human displacement.
Global forced displacement increased in 2015, with 65.3 million individuals forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of conflict, violence, and persecution. This was 5.8 million more than in 2014 and the highest level of displacement since World War II. Over 12.4 million people were newly displaced in 2015, including 8.6 million within their own countries and 1.8 million who became refugees. Developing regions hosted the majority of the world's refugees, with Turkey hosting the largest number at over 2.5 million, mostly Syrian refugees.
The document discusses the refugee crisis in Syria and its impact on surrounding countries. It summarizes that Syria, once a major refugee hosting country, is now the fastest producing country of refugees as the conflict continues. Neighboring countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt are sheltering over 3 million Syrian refugees but this is causing economic problems and increasing social tensions. The UN is expecting the number of refugees to rise to 4.1 million by the end of 2014 and hopes more international support can help relieve the burden on surrounding countries now stretched beyond their capacity to cope with the large influx of refugees.
The document provides an overview of the Brazilian population in Boston, Massachusetts. It notes that Brazilians began migrating to Boston in large numbers in the 1990s, peaking before the 2008 recession. Currently, there are approximately 2,900 foreign-born Brazilians living in Boston, mostly concentrated in East Boston, Brighton, West Roxbury, and Dorchester. The document analyzes demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of Boston's Brazilian population such as age, gender, education levels, occupations, and income. It finds that while they have lower educational attainment than native-born residents, Brazilians in Boston have achieved a relatively high standard of living.
This document is an introduction to a thesis submitted by Leslie Archambeault examining the gendered impacts of the Syrian refugee crisis on host communities in Jordan. It provides context on the scale of the Syrian refugee crisis globally and in Jordan specifically, noting that over 630,000 Syrian refugees are registered in Jordan as of 2015, comprising 20% of Jordan's population. While most data focuses only on adult women, over half of Syrian refugees in Jordan are actually girls and women. The majority of Syrian refugees in Jordan live among vulnerable Jordanian host communities rather than camps. This large influx is straining Jordan's resources and increasing tensions between host and refugee populations. The thesis will examine these gendered impacts on Jordanian host communities in order
Foreign-born Colombians make up a significant portion of Boston's immigrant population. The majority live in East Boston and work in service occupations. They have high labor force participation but relatively low educational attainment. While their economic contributions to the city are substantial, many foreign-born Colombians have difficulties achieving a middle-class standard of living due to language barriers and lack of a high school diploma.
1) The document discusses whether the United States should provide additional humanitarian aid to UNRWA to support Palestinian refugees amid ongoing conflicts in Gaza, Syria, and Iraq. It provides background on the creation of Palestinian refugees and UNRWA's mandate to aid them.
2) Secretary of State John Kerry pledged $212 million in additional U.S. aid to the Palestinian people for relief, reconstruction, and budget needs. However, the State Department has limited resources as it also aids refugees from Syria and Iraq.

The document summarizes data about Brazilians living in the United States. It estimates that between 803,000 to 1.4 million Brazilians lived in the US in 2007, with the largest populations in Massachusetts, Florida, California, New York, and New Jersey. Brazilians have a median age of 35.8, higher rates of labor force participation, and are more likely to be self-employed or work in service, construction, or management/professional occupations compared to all immigrants and native residents.
This document provides information about Brazilian immigrants living in Boston, Massachusetts. It states that there are an estimated 6,822 Brazilians living in Boston, making up 8.4% of the state's immigrant population. Many Brazilian immigrants work in services (43%), construction (13%), or are self-employed (16%). Collectively, Brazilians contribute $157 million to the local economy, pay $38 million in taxes, and create 1,733 direct and indirect jobs. However, they also have one of the lowest rates of achieving a middle-class standard of living compared to other immigrants and native-born residents.
Since 2013, Bangladesh has experienced a series of violent attacks targeting religious minorities. These attacks have highlighted the lack of protection for minority rights in the face of rising religious extremism. However, the situation of religious minorities is also shaped by wider historical and social factors. Bangladesh's religious minorities have long faced discrimination that can be traced back to the country's independence movement and the legacy of its partition from Pakistan in 1947. Despite early constitutional protections, the establishment of an Islamic identity has marginalized minorities over time. Recent violence must be addressed, but lasting change requires challenging prejudice, reforming institutions, and ensuring religious freedom and expression for all.

The document discusses several topics related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and politics in Kuwait and the Middle East region more broadly. It includes commentary on historical relations between Nazis and Zionism, the mistreatment of Palestinians by Israel, and political instability in the Arab world stemming from the ongoing Palestinian crisis. It also touches on issues of bedoun rights, infrastructure problems at Kuwait International Airport, and calls for renewed religious guidance of Kuwaiti youth.
Myanmar_Protecting_Minority_Rights - 30 May 2013_FINAL REPORTSushetha Gopallawa
In its rush to normalize relations with Myanmar, the international community must not ignore increasing abuses against ethnic minorities in Rakhine and Kachin States. Over 100,000 people remain displaced in camps in Kachin State with limited humanitarian access, while Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine State live in fear due to restrictions, flooding risks, and lack of citizenship rights. The UN and Myanmar government must ensure full humanitarian access and protect minority rights to end suffering and find durable solutions for displaced communities.
The document discusses Evo Morales' rise to power in Bolivia and his policies as president that have improved living standards and reduced inequality. Some key points:
- Morales was Bolivia's first indigenous president and has championed the poor and marginalized. He has won three elections with over 60% of the vote due to his popularity.
- As president, Morales nationalized Bolivia's hydrocarbon industry, increasing state revenues and allowing social programs that reduced poverty.
- Under Morales, Bolivia's GDP has doubled, public debt is low, and over 2.5 million Bolivians have been lifted out of poverty through welfare programs and economic growth.
- Morales has introduced
The Middle East Peace Process: Towards Another Stalemate?Przemyslaw Osiewicz
The Middle East conflict has remained one of the core issues of contemporary international relations since World War II. One of the most important matters is to define whether the Middle East peace process is related to the Middle East conflict or, more precisely, to the Arab-Israeli conflict. With respect to land, there are two possible scenarios. Firstly, Palestinians living under Israeli administration. Secondly, a two-state solution, namely an official recognition of the state of Israel by all Arab states and the foundation of a Palestinian state. So far, there have been dozens of peace plans, for example, the Oslo Peace Process, the Taba talks of 2001, the Road Map of 2003, and the Annapolis Conference of 2007. None of them resulted in a comprehensive solution. The question is, if the international community will face another stalemate in case of the Middle East peace process. Might the so-called Arab awakening, namely all the ongoing political and social processes in the Arab states, change the situation in the re-gion?
The document discusses the challenges and successes of refugee resettlement in the United States. It provides background on the history of refugee resettlement programs in the US since 1948 and how the process currently works. It then focuses on two organizations that help refugees in Greensboro - the Center for New North Carolinians, which provides services and support to help with integration, and the Greensboro Human Relations Department's International Advisory Committee, which advocates for refugees and immigrants. The document also discusses challenges refugees face with employment and barriers to utilizing their skills due to language and credentialing issues.
The document discusses the challenges and successes of refugee resettlement in the United States. It provides background on the history of refugee resettlement programs in the US since 1948 and how the process currently works. It then focuses on two organizations that help refugees in Greensboro, NC - the Center for New North Carolinians, which provides direct services and support to refugees, and the Greensboro Human Relations Department's International Advisory Committee, which advocates for refugees and helps them access resources. The document argues that while employment is important for integration, refugees often face barriers to finding good jobs and their skills are underutilized, suggesting a need for more focus on language training and cultural integration.
The document discusses human rights violations that lead to refugee movements. It defines refugees according to international law and outlines their rights. It notes that at the end of 2008, 42 million people were forcibly displaced internationally. The document also discusses the role of the UNHCR in protecting refugees and providing durable solutions. It provides statistics on refugee populations and countries of origin. In conclusion, it states that citizens must speak up about human rights violations even when they do not directly affect themselves.
This document discusses challenges related to migration and development cooperation. It notes that while migration brings both opportunities and challenges, perceptions of migrants are often negative. The 2030 Agenda and Global Compact on Migration provide a framework for managing migration in a way that benefits development. However, locally-led solutions tailored to specific contexts are needed. Collecting disaggregated data on migration and the SDGs can help inform evidence-based policies. Advocacy is also important to change negative narratives around migration and highlight migrants' contributions. Protecting vulnerable groups like women and ensuring their participation is key. Cooperation between countries is necessary to develop protection-sensitive policies on mixed migration flows.
This document discusses various topics related to human migration and displacement. It defines key terms like migration, refugee, and internally displaced persons (IDPs). It also discusses the different types of migration like voluntary vs forced migration. Push and pull factors that influence migration decisions are explained. Examples of government policies and programs around the world to address issues like facilitating migrant returns, naturalization policies, and integration measures are provided. The document also discusses UNHCR's role and approaches in supporting IDPs, such as prioritizing protection, emergency preparedness, operational response, integrated programming, and building local and national capacities.
Brazilians exemplify a migrant group that is well connected through transnational ties. These activities by migrant groups are important to highlight, as they have potential development impacts in both the migrants’ home and host countries. This paper looks at the characteristics of Brazilian migrants in the United States and their participation in transnational activities using data from a study of Brazilians living in Massachusetts conducted in 2007.
The document discusses several key aspects of the refugee crisis:
1) It defines who refugees and internally displaced persons are, noting the UNHCR definition of refugees and how IDPs differ in that they have not crossed international borders.
2) It examines the economic, social, and cultural impacts of refugees on both host and origin countries, including effects on labor markets, crime rates, resources, and civil conflict.
3) It explores the psychological stages refugees go through, from fleeing violence and witnessing trauma, to dangerous travel, and challenges integrating into new communities with lack of stability, education issues, and parental stress.
This summarizes the State of the Nation Address given by Benigno Aquino III on July 23, 2012. He discusses the reforms implemented in the past two years to address corruption and poverty, including increasing access to education, health care, and social services. Key achievements include building classrooms to address the backlog, increasing PhilHealth enrollment, and expanding the Pantawid Pamilya conditional cash transfer program. Aquino defends the increases in education and health budgets. He highlights the growing economy, with rising GDP, credit ratings, and stock market as well as increasing employment and opportunities in the BPO sector.
The document summarizes key facts from the United Nations 2017 International Migration Report. Some of the key points include:
- The number of international migrants has grown rapidly in recent years, reaching 258 million in 2017 up from 173 million in 2000.
- Over 60% of migrants live in Asia or Europe, with the largest numbers in the US, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and Russia.
- International migration is an important issue addressed in the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the New York Declaration on Refugees and Migrants.
- The report provides the latest data on levels and trends in international migration worldwide.
World Cup 2014: What is really going on in Brazil?Alex Alves
1) Brazil was initially apprehensive about hosting the World Cup due to 2013 protests over poor public services and high spending on stadiums. However, Brazilians have since joined in the celebration, seeing tourism and national pride benefits.
2) Upcoming elections add political factors, with polls showing President Rousseff leading but close competitors gaining support.
3) For Brazil to continue developing, its people must work together across ideological lines, focusing on quality public services, education, and responsible long-term planning rather than temporary celebrations.
Immigration is an important issue facing many countries. While some argue against educating undocumented children, this speech argues that states should be required to educate all children, including those of illegal immigrants. Providing education aligns with America's ideals of opportunity and allows these children to contribute productively to society in the future as nurses, doctors, and teachers. Denying children an education contradicts the notion of America as a land of opportunity.

A Report by the UN Population Fund
By Lisa Schlein and Joe De Capua
June 28, 2007
For humanity’s sake, developing world must prepare for soaring urbanization. In 2008, the world reaches an invisible but momentous milestone: for the first time in history, more than half its human population, 3.3 billion people, will be living in urban areas. By 2030, this is expected to swell to almost five billion. Many of the new urbanites will be poor. Their future, the future of cities in developing countries throughout the world, the future of humanity itself, all depend very much on decisions made now in preparation for this growth.
While the world’s urban population grew very rapidly (from 220 million to 2.8 billion) over the 20th century, the next few decades will see an unprecedented scale of urban growth in the developing world. This will be particularly notable in Africa and Asia where the urban population will double between 2000 and 2030: that is, the accumulated urban growth of these two regions during the whole span of history will be duplicated in a single generation. By 2030, the towns and cities of the developing world will make up 81 percent of our urban humanity.
The United Nation Population Fund, UN agency, says in a new report that humanity will have to undergo a “revolution in thinking” to deal with a doubling of urban populations in Africa and Asia. The UN continues to say that the number of people in African and Asian cities will grow by 1.7 billion by the year 2030. And worldwide, the number of city dwellers will reach five billion or 60 per cent of the world’s population. The report ‘State of the World Population 2007: Unleashing the Potential of Urban Growth’ says globally, all future population growth will take place in cities, nearly all of it in Africa, Asia and Latin America. “What’s more, the growth marks “a decisive shift from rural to urban growth, changing a balance that has lasted for millennia.”
The United Nations also warns that a doubling of urban populations in Africa and Asia by 2030 will have harmful consequences if governments do not prepare now for the coming growth. In this year's State of World Population report, the UN Population Fund says this unprecedented wave of urbanization offers potential opportunities or dismal failures. The report explains that next year, for the first time in history, more than half the world's population will be living in cities. It says that by 2030 almost five billion people will be urban dwellers. It says the populations in Af ...

The life in a suitcase. This is a scene that well represents the refugee status. Next to the luggage
are stories of violence, persecution and pain. Dramas sometimes unnoticed before the routine of
a country like Brazil, which lives in freedom. But the search for refuge in Brazil has
increased. From 2010 to 2014 the number of refugees who arrived in Brazil increased
1466.78%. Besides the difficulty of understanding the meaning of the refuge and the
implications of conflicts around the world, since the impact is not nearly perceived by Brazilians,
government institutions find themselves facing another problem - identify the impact of the
arrival of these refugees in policy public.
The large migration flows have gained prominence and attracted the attention of the whole
world. In the news published by televisions, magazines, radio, newspapers and Internet portals
are thousands of stories that intersect and connect. The displacement of populations inside and
outside the Brazilian continent are vectors that show stories, crises, feelings and international
changes in the past, present and future. The displaced people are present in human history since
the world began. They recreate continually territories, extending narrow boundaries that were
previously marked.The condition of being a refugee presupposes that such displacement
automatically exists.
The arrival of this population poses contact distant realities bring us between us and bring us
closer to ourselves. In this new convivial atmosphere, are stories, emotions, wounds and scars
that give life to distant realities of fear stories, persecution, conflict, pain and violation of human
rights.
Worldwide, the nation of displaced people is growing. According to data from report "Global
Trends" United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the number of refugees
and internally displaced persons in the world in 2014 reached a record level of 59.5 million
people, the largest number in the post 2nd world World War, of which 19.5 million are refugees,
38.2 million are displaced within their own countries, and 1.8 million are asylum seekers. At the
end of 2013, the number recorded for the previous version of the report was 51.2 million. This
shows that in just one year, the growth was of 8.3 million people had to move.
This steady growth is visible mainly from 2011, when it started the war in Syria. - Recognized as
one of the biggest events generator of displaced people In 2014, an average of 42,500 people
became internally displaced persons, asylum- refuge or refugee per day in the world.
2. We need to consider the influence of globalization on international migration flows. Currently,
the horizon of the person who needs to escape from their reality or country is not restricted to the
nearest region. The new horizon is the whole world, printed every day on television, in movies,
on the Internet and photos of friends. Globalization always dismissed borders, stimulating
dreams and expectations of a better life. No wonder that refugees from countries such as Syria,
Eritrea and Somalia, for example, cross oceans to get to Brazil. They want to rebuild their lives
with new stories and new perspectives.
According to the document "Refuge in Brazil: A Statistical Analysis - January 2010 to October
2014" UNHCR Brazil, the total number of asylum applications in the country increased more
than 1,466% between 2010 and 2014, as follows: 566 requests in 2010; 1,138 in 2011; 2,008 in
2012; 5,882 in 2013 and 8,302 by October 2014.
Among the recognized refugees, Syrians have become the main nationality of refugees in Brazil,
representing 20% of the total, 1,524 recognized refugees until October 2014. However, the
figures reveal mixed flows, coming also from countries such as Colombia, Angola, Republic
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lebanon, Liberia, Palestine, Iraq, Bolivia, Sierra Leone,
among others.
With regard to Syria, Brazil has taken a supportive attitude towards the victims of the conflict
and adopted in September 2013, the Normative Resolution # 17 of the National Committee for
Refugees (CONARE), which facilitates the entry of Syrian refugees, automatically issuing a visa
"tourist" valid for 90 days, thus explaining the number of such people in the country. According
to United Nations data (UN), 86% of the world's refugees are in developing countries.
REFUGEES IN BRAZIL
Although the "majority" of these conflicts happen across the world, Brazil has never been so
close to these realities. The number of asylum applications in the country has grown
exponentially, with more significant data in recent years. Until August 2015, the CONARE,
registered record numbers in the Brazilian scene. According to the latest figures released by the
Ministry of Justice - in August 2015 - the Brazil currently has 8,400 recognized refugees and
12,666 asylum claims pending analysis. The numbers underscore a greater presence of Brazil
internationally.
In Brazil, the procedure for the recognition of refuge status, regulated in 1997, is through a series
of stages: when the foreigner arrives in Brazil he needs to submit to the Federal Police, Brazilian
authority that regulates the entry of foreigners in Brazil, to say you want to apply for recognition
of the Brazilian State as a refugee; then you should look for an institution that helps to make the
3. proceedings of the case by the CONARE; then proceeds to analyze the procedure, which lasts an
average of 6 months to 2 years, and then leaves a favorable decision or not given by
CONARE.Depending on the case, for example, a high vulnerability, the processing can be
speeded up. If the refuge request of the decision is unfavorable, the applicant can to appeal to
reassessment on appeal.
But how does a country, often far from the conflict, have to deal with an issue as the refuge so
closely? It all starts with the position of the foreign policy of a country through various
international agreements.
After entering into international commitments, the country needs to bring the issue to public state
policies, so that they are applied in various spheres of society. The art. 48 of Law 9.474 / 97
emphasizes that responsibility when he says:
"The provisions of this Law shall be interpreted in accordance with the Universal
Declaration of 1948 on Human Rights, the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees
of 1951, with the Protocol on the Status of Refugees 1967 and with all relevant device
international instrument protection of human rights with which the Brazilian Government
is compromised. "
With this, Brazilian institutions have to deal with the issue, especially with regard to the planning
and implementation of specific public policies for refugees. After the creation of CONARE,
some Brazilian states have established State Committees, made up of public authorities, political
and civil society institutions in order to facilitate the access of asylum seekers and refugees
recognized the state and municipal public policies. So far have been established State
Committees in the states of Amazonas, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Parana, Rio Grande do Sul
and São Paulo. It is currently in negotiations to create the Federal District and in the Holy Spirit.
Brazil is a country that has been built and made up of people who needed to start over. Only in
São Paulo live more than half of the refugees are in Brazil. In addition, the 12,666 asylum
applications in progress, 36% left the State of São Paulo.
How to build a life between two countries and two cultures? The answer to that question must be
asked on a daily basis not only for refugees, but by state officials who need close to deal with a
new issue on a daily basis.
After checking the history of Brazil and current characteristics at the front desk and reception of
refugees, come now needs to deepen the debate on the challenges ahead. We found that there is a
need to implement public policies that dialogue among federal, state and local levels to ensure
4. that there is an effective guarantee of social, cultural and economic rights for refugees. This can
be done in two ways: new policy formulation and adaptation of existing policies.
According to the events of recent years, it is clear that Brazil seeks to be a regional leader in the
area of refuge. In a statement of President Dilma Rousseff, released on social networks to
celebrate the day September 7, 2015 - Independence Day of Brazil, the President stressed that the
country can receive some of these refugees seeking shelter "Even in times of difficulty, crisis
such as we are going through, we will have our arms open to welcome the refugees. I take today
to reiterate the government's willingness to receive those who, driven from their homelands, here
want to come, live, work and contribute to the prosperity and peace of Brazil, "he said.
Four days later, on September 10, 2015, President Dilma Rousseff published the article
"Refugees and hope" in the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, addressing the issue of refuge and
reaffirming Brazil's position in this context. "Respectful of human rights, Brazil is a land of
welcome," he said. At the end of the article, the President reiterated the message said in the video
posted on September 7 "Brazil, even in this moment of overcoming difficulties, has open arms to
welcome refugees. I reiterate the willingness of the Brazilian government to receive those who,
driven from their homelands, to Brazil want to come, live, work and contribute to the prosperity
and peace. We want to offer them this hope, "he emphasized.
Such political discourse "solidarity" took place in a week in which the world is shocked by the
scene Syrian refugees dead at sea, especially after the publication of the photo Aylan Kurdi, a
three-year-old killed in a Turkish beach. They lost their lives while trying to reach Europe in
search of a new opportunity. With regard to foreign policy, Brazil arises again of "Open Arms"
to the world.
But it must remember that receive refugees and immigrants means more than having good
intentions. These populations shift and high degree of socioeconomic vulnerability, but need
assistance, work, housing, health, education and security. But this must be done responsibly
through the state and should ensure the inclusion and social integration. Unfortunately, there is
still no public policy with national policy on the issue of refuge and also there is an immigration
law that is capable of dealing with such population of immigrants living in Brazil today.
It is evident that the quest for international protection and asylum request are contemporary
issues and full development. The international community and States have an important role in
the protection of refugees and the search for an end to these conflicts that generate the great
human dislocations. In Brazil, we can identify a gradual change, based on the guarantee and
effective compliance with international agreements to which we are signatories. Our country
received many immigrants and refugees Japanese, Italians, Africans, Arabs, among other people,
5. who have contributed in building a country that currently claims on the international scene, a
place of leadership.
Regarding the challenges and development of specific public policies for this new population
that falls within the Brazilian territory, Brazil seems headed in the right direction, but there is
still long way to go. This is a continuous process of improvement and reflection of the role of
states and municipalities on these and other issues arising in international problems.
Start a new life is never simple or easy task. When crossing borders, the difficulties of the
refugees do not disappear, and the sufferings and struggles do not end. The State therefore needs
to ensure that these refugees develop and explore their potential as human beings, enriching the
local culture and contributing to the formation a welcoming society.
As I said Clarice Lispector "which extends a person's life are impossible dreams". That Brazil is
increasingly a country that is willing to be a land where dreams become realities and lives to be
rebuilt.
