Refugee Crisis in Europe

As of the end of 2016, about 2 million refugees and immigrants arrived at the coast of Europe and traveled quietly from countries such as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, torn apart by war and persecution.

For some people, this desperate journey will be their last one. Since 2015, thousands of people have died or are missing, and more and more women and children without companion continue dangerous journeys for safety

In 2017 over 170,000 people endangered their lives and tried to reach Europe at sea, of which more than 3,000 people drowned

As of 2015 and 2017, half of all refugees throughout the Mediterranean have come from Syria, but this has decreased to 10%. In the first quarter of 2017, more than 5,300 children arrived in Greece, Italy, Bulgaria, Spain. 69% (3,800) of these children are unaccompanied minors

On the ground, UNHCR has more than 600 staff in 20 different places to protect evacuation centers and provide assistance to life-saving refugees arriving in Europe, including evacuation centers, food, water and medical care It is.

The Syrians who arrived by boat at the end of the pain - and some deadly journeys - formed the image of the European refugee crisis. However, Europe is caught in a bigger dilemma - a combination of refugees and immigration crisis. Thus, although most new refugees have escaped from a few violent conflicts, many new refugees are part of a long-term migration pattern. In the coming decades the world's population and inequality may lead to tens of millions of people going to developed countries to find work and better living.

The current "crisis" of refugees in Europe is creating multiple forms of vulnerability and anxiety for refugee women, including all forms of sexual violence and sexual violence. There are an increasing number of women who are trying to visit Europe to protect themselves from conflict and violence in their own country or with their families, but these women are increasingly being exposed to violence when they are on a business trip or arriving at their destination It has been. The lack of adequate accommodation and accommodation facilities for European refugees and immigrants, and the closure of the border have raised the need to help smugglers reach Europe, exacerbating violence and anxiety.

Problems in current policies address sexual and gender based violence among refugee women: hidden aspects of refugee "crisis"

Today 's European refugee crisis is reminiscent of another refugee crisis that happened almost 80 years ago. In 1938, President Franklin Roosevelt of the United States asked officials from 32 countries to gather in Evian Leban, France, to plan to support European Jewish refugees. Every country has not been strengthened in a big way, and most countries do not do anything. The only leader who heard this appeal gave 100,000 visas and 26,000 acres of land at the Dominican Republic dictator General Raphael Leonidas Trujo.
