Description
<p>Syrian refugees and Palestine refugees from Syria have fled their homes in search of safety. But <a href="https://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/publications/were-not-there-yet-voices-of-refugees-from-syria-in-lebanon-620273">Oxfam's 2017 research</a> revealed that most people interviewed do not consider that they have found complete safety and protection in Lebanon. Refugees' views on what constitutes 'safety' are individual and subjective. This paper argues that the international community and host governments should not make decisions for refugees about what or where is 'safe', but instead should support refugees to find safety in the present, and determine their futures for themselves.</p>
