Abstract [en]
ABSTRACT:This study places in context the dire situation of unaccompanied refugee minors and their adversary experience while traveling and upon arrival. Minors have made hazardous journeys across borders to escape persecution, violence, or other serious harm in their country of origin. In such migration, traumatic events typical of displacement are usually filled with violence, injuries, psychological trauma, and loss of family or friends. Upon arrival, many are immediately confronted by numerous problems associated with basic things, including food, shelter, and protection from abuses, exploitation, or trafficking. This situation has been made worse by barriers in the form of legislations and bureaucracies instituted while seeking asylum or other forms of protection. Yet, unaccompanied minor refugees demonstrate remarkable resiliency and unwavering aspirations to improve life prospects. This cannot happen unless they are first integrated into the Swedish society, both in terms of language, and also opportunities to secure jobs. This perception of their sufferings while minors is quite fundamental to devising a multi-dimensional support system to cater to their needs and give them a new start in life in a secure, care-enhancing environment.
