Abstract:

This study investigates how the second generation of Afghan refugees who are born and raised in Balochistan feel about and express their sense of belonging and identity in the hosting community. The main purpose of this study is to analyze and understand how the second generation of Afghan refugees feel about their identity in terms of who they think they were, how they perceived themselves, whether they felt comfortable or uncomfortable identifying themselves Afghans in local community, and that how their identity affected their sense of belonging and their day to day life in Balochistan. This phenomenological study intended to explore the sense of identity of the young Afghan refugees by drawing on their individual and collective narratives of self and others as they struggle to be part of the social fabric and feel safe and accepted in Pakistani community. It also aimed to highlight how the identity crisis and the feeling of being other affected the needs, attitudes and perceptions of second generation Afghan refugees in the hosting community , and that how the second-generation Afghan refugees experience their sense of belonging and identification in two different national contexts (Afghanistan and Pakistan).This study uses qualitative phenomenological approach. It uses analysis of relevant secondary data, focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that the identity crisis is still a challenging and major issue for Afghan refugee children.

Abstract:

Pakistan has hosted millions of Afghan refugees over the last several decades. Due to poor socioeconomic status, food insecurity and inadequate access to health care, these refugees are considered to be at high risk of malnutrition. Previous studies on nutritional assessment of high-risk populations (refugees) have focused mainly on women and children (0–59 months). The current study aims to assess nutritional status of adolescent Afghan refugees; the population who are equally vulnerable to malnutrition and its consequences. In this cross sectional study, the nutritional status of 206 adolescent (10–19 years old) Afghans boys and girls living in a refugee camp in Peshawar, Pakistan was assessed using standard methods. The results indicate a prevalence of stunting, thinness, and overweight and obesity at 35.3%, 4.4% and 14.8%, respectively. Furthermore, there was a significantly high prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies (vitamin D, 80.5%; vitamin B12, 41.9%; and folate, 28.2%); and anemia (10.1%). Together, these findings indicate that this vulnerable population group suffers from the double burden of malnutrition and are thus at serious risk of impaired psychosocial cognitive development, general ill-health and diminished wellbeing. This study therefore highlights the urgent need to include adolescents in regular screening and intervention programs of such at-risk populations.

Abstract:

This article describes and analyzes an emerging problematic in the asylum and immigration debate, which I cynically dub the “imposter-child” phenomenon. My preliminary exploration maps how the imposter-child relates to and potentially influences the politics and practices of refuge status determination in the United Kingdom. I argue that the “imposter-child” is being discursively constructed in order to justify popular and official suspicion of spontaneously arriving child asylum-seekers in favour of resettling refugees from camps abroad. I also draw connections between the discursive creation of “imposter-children” and the diminishment of welfare safeguarding for young people. Further complicating this situation is a variety of sociocultural factors in both Afghanistan and the United Kingdom, including the adversarial UK refugee status determination process, uncertainty around how the United Kingdom can“prove” an age, and a form of “triple discrimination” experienced by Afghan male youth. Through unearthing why the “imposter-child” is problematic, I also query why it is normatively accepted that non-citizens no longer deserve protection from the harshest enforcement once they “age out” of minor status.

Abstract:

All children have the right to complete and integrated physical and psychological protection against abuse. The most important reason and risk factors for child abuse are social causes including poor familial support, poverty, mood disorders in the family, and addiction. Here, we report a case of child abuse of an Afghan child in Iran with a background of mood disturbances who presented with multiple trauma and injury. A nine-year-old Afghan boy was described with multiple injuries on neck, upper and lower extremities, and trunk. On anal examination in knee chest position, a suspected mucosal injury was evident. Interviewing the patient and his sister revealed a report of sexual abuse through the anus by his father.

Abstract:

The study sought to ascertain and describe the physical and mental health states of Afghan refugee children after the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 in the US and the aerial bombing of Afghanistan that followed. A cross-sectional survey was carried out in four refugee camps in Peshawar, Pakistan from February to March 2002, and comparisons among camps were made. A total of 70 males (mean age SD = 9.81 ±1.98 years old) and 30 females (7.94 ±2.07) answered a self-developed questionnaire on demographic data, traumatic events experience, living environment in the camps, and physical and mental health, through interviews. Anthropometric measures were measured and physical symptoms including anaemia and edema were assessed. Severe malnutrition was not shown and there were no significant differences in most nutritional and physical states among the camps. Nevertheless, in the newer camps more children experienced war related traumatic events. Mental symptoms were prevalent in all camps, though the characteristics of the symptoms differed among the camps. Asia Pac J Public Health 2005; 17(2): 93-98.

Abstract:

The prevalence and etiology of visual loss and eye diseases were determined in a resident Afghan refugee community in northern Pakistan. The survey included 1156 people and revealed that 2.1% of the population were blind and 6.9% were visually impaired according to WHO criteria. The leading causes of blindness included cataract [62.5%], uncorrected refractive errors [16.6%], retinal degeneration/dystrophy [12.5%], glaucoma [4.2%] and microphthalmos [4.2%]. The causes of visual loss were uncorrected refractive errors [46.2%], cataract [32.7%] and corneal opacities [4.8%]. These conditions were also important causes of unilateral lost vision. Active trachoma was found in 3.7% of all children under 10 years of age

Abstract:

I denna uppsats är syftet att skapa en fördjupad förståelse för unga afghanska ensamkommande mäns livssituation genom intervjuer som analyserats utifrån begreppen habitus, kapital och fält. De flesta av respondenterna har visat sig vara beredda att slita hårt för att förverkliga sina ambitioner och strävan mot ett liv med stabila levnadsförhållanden. Vad denna strävan gett för resultat skiljer sig åt i gruppen. De som lyckas med att förvärva det kapital som fungerar som inträdesbiljett på arbetsmarknaden eller till högre utbildning, hyser ett stort mått av framtidstro. För ett par av de unga männen har inte stödet från samhället varit tillräckligt och de upplever en osäkerhet inför framtiden. I flera av de unga männens berättelser framträder tecken på solidaritet, i första hand mot familjen, men även gentemot samhället samt den egna gruppen landsmän. Det verkar som om flera av de unga männen finner en livsstil utifrån habitus som fungerar både i det svenska samhället och i det afghanska även om det traditionella livsmönstret i hög grad består. En högre grad av interaktion med andra i samhället utifrån gemensamma intressen skulle kunna bidra till förändring av traditionella mönster och en ökad integration.
In this paper the aim is to create an indepth understanding of young Afghan unaccompanied men's life situations through interviews analysed with the concepts of habitus, capital and field. Most of the respondents have shown a willingness to toil hard to realize their ambitions and aspirations towards a life with stable living conditions. What results this endeavour has given differ within the group. Those who have manage to acquire capital that serves as the admission ticket to the labour market or to higher education, have a high degree of hope for the future. For a few of the young men the support from society has not been sufficient and they experience an uncertainty about the future. In several of the young men's stories signs of solidarity emerge, primarily towards family, but also towards society and their own compatriots. It appears that several of the young men find a lifestyle based on habitus that works both in the Swedish society and amongst Afghans although the traditional pattern of life to a great extent is maintained. A higher degree of interaction with others in the community on the basis of shared interests could lead to a change in traditional patterns and more integration.
