Refugees have already
lost everything: Their lives, their homes, their families, their loved ones,
their belongings, and most importantly their dignity, freedom and future.
Refugees are already
at the lowest they can be. So why governments and the refugee law punishes them
instead of supporting them? How come criminals have more privacy than refugees?
How come criminals have more comfort and privileges than refugees?
Living in tents for
decades is not the solution. Growing up in overcrowded and uncomfortable refugee
camps is not the solution. Being able to close a door behind you and lock it is
important. It’s something that we all take for granted. Private moments and
spaces that we have for ourselves are necessary for our heart, mind and soul.
Being able to be alone
or with your loved ones inside a safe space are important, especially for traumatized
refugees, children and adults, who have experienced war and have already lost
everything. They need to feel safe, be able to close a door, and just relax for
a bit!
But in the overcrowded
refugee camps, they are only covered with tents without a door and a lock. They
also don’t have any privacy and not to mention a clean and private toilet like
prisoners do in their cells.
In rich countries like
Switzerland criminals live a privileged life in their fancy and modern cells in
prison with all kinds of comfort. They have a comfy bed and a closet. A private
TV, radio and internet corner. This doesn’t make sense! Nothing make sense anymore
when it comes to the global refugee crises! As if this isn’t unfair enough,
criminals have even the chance for further education. They have a gym, a TV
room and libraries. Why are refugees being treated worse than animals, while
criminals are being treated like humans? What’s wrong with our society? What’s
wrong with our governments? What’s wrong with our powerful and mighty world
leaders?
