The Refugee Decade
The vast majority of people who flee their homeland and become refugee, spend the next 10 years or more of their life in limbo. This is the Refugee Decade.
Think about all you have accomplished in the last decade of your life. No doubt the stability of your home, family, and economic opportunity played a major role in your development the last 10 years.
But in the Refugee Decade - all this stability is lost. Refugees lose their home, country, loved ones, and livelihood. Educational process is interrupted. Opportunity is lost.
8.1 million refugees have been “warehoused” in camps for 10 years or more.
An informed understanding of refugees and refugee resettlement, starts with an informed understanding the Refugee Decade experience.
