Refugee Portrait

Refugee Gaze

Imagine fleeing for your life, enduring traumatic experiences, and ultimately being co-opted by a racist bureaucracy that dehumanizes and expels you, forcing you to become a victim of human trafficking.

War makes no sense, but since it's a reality, the host countries are obliged to provide support and make sure that the refugees are safe, yet that means consistent planning with the basic rights at the center of each step and respect for life.

We can observe many parallels based on immigrant work exploitation.

This child's home was bombed. To feel safe in the proximity, the host country must feel safe via an inclusive human approach and individual planning.

According to international laws, the rights to asylum do not imply being extra intelligent, super good looking, having new shoes, or knowing the local dialects...The fact that such selections are influencing the support system in the decision of sustaining or not indicates chain corruption and general stupidity. When money is more important than human life, that's a mental-setting problem and implicit cruelty.
