Book excerpt: This booklet reproduces and describes some of the work and creativity of refugees from El Salvador and Guatemala. In the first part of the book, refugees tell why they were forced to leave their homes. The situation in El Salvador and Guatemala is then described, together with the number of refugees who have fled these countries and the reception they receive in the countries of asylum. The second part of the publication contains a series of personal reflections on life in the refugee communities. Refugees flee their homes with nothing, leaving most of their possessions behind. Once they cross the border, they settle in refugee camps, in shanty towns in urban areas, some are resettled in farming cooperatives, others try to find sanctuary in the United States. The experiences of refugees in all of these situations are recounted. Wherever they find asylum, the displaced persons and refugees begin to organize themselves and create new communities and it is this aspect that is next covered. The first priority is to organize food distribution and a hygienic sanitation system. Refugee Coordination Committees are established, new huts built for community centres, health and nutrition clinics, a church, etc. In order to become self-sufficient, crops are planted, workshops are set up for producing handicrafts. Providing facilities for education and skills training is also a major priority. Most of the refugees live with the hope of one day returning to their homes and the refugees express these feelings in the final part of the publication. Suggestions are also given on how the reader can help refugees from Central America.

Download or read book Aiding the Desplazados of El Salvador written by John Mullaney and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper aims to stimulate discussion about approaches to assistance for the half million displaced persons in El Salvador. He points out that these people, called the desplazados (displaced ones), are predominantly women and children seeking shelter from the violence of the civil war. Since they have not crossed any international boundaries, they are not officially refugees, nor entitled to any international refugee aid. Most of them fit the category of politically displaced persons. This paper provides the background information to their problems by describing: 1) the different groups of displaced people in El Salvador and the conditions and problems they encounter; 2) the ways in which the displaced are currently being helped by the governments of El Salvador and the USA, the churches and NGOs, including a discussion of why the aid is interpreted as a function of the political struggle; 3) recent efforts to relocate large numbers of displaced people to more peaceful parts of the country; and 4) recommendations for future assistance. The author concludes that the displaced people are a long-term problem. They are trying to settle in areas where people already live in poverty, so new projects must meet the needs of both the existing population and the newcomers. Coordination between the programmes of government and NGOs is essential for progress. As most of the displaced people are illiterate agricultural workers, assistance must be tailored to their specific needs. Projects including cooperative development, vocational training, low-cost housing, and employment opportunities should be initiated, and those projects already in existence should be provided with funds and technical assistance. Urban/industrial projects will be essential, as there is not enough land to support the growing population. Above all, the author concludes, an autonomous coordinating entity is required, to manage and monitor all donations. He suggests that the Contadora group of nations are in the best position to request the UN to either create such an entity, or designate an existing agency to perform this role. Eight pages of statistics on the displaced population are appended.

GAO found that: (1) about 120,000 Central American refugees, including about 28,000 refugees from El Salvador and about 48,000 from Nicaragua, registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and were receiving food, education, and health care assistance; (2) the number of refugees not registered with UNHCR is believed to be several times greater than the number of registered refugees; (3) over 200,000 Salvadorans have been displaced within their own country; (4) camps in Costa Rica had running water and electricity, but refugee camps in Honduras and displaced persons sites in El Salvador did not; and (5) although many refugees have repatriated, continuing conflicts in the region have discouraged others from returning to their countries.

Book excerpt: This report discusses the findings of a delegation visiting Central America to study the situation of Central American refugees, especially women and children, and to develop recommendations to facilitate their return and reintegration. Improving the conditions of refugee women in Central America means improving the conditions of all women. Some women have broken the traditional division of labour in order to provide for their families, but some humanitarian agencies help widows only. This has led to conflicts and the shunning of single women and widows. Women's health levels must be raised and women must have access to resources. Alleviating women's poverty requires the political will to reform and to ensure a more equal distribution of resources. Where agrarian reforms have taken place legislation should allow women to inherit and to gain title to land. Alternative systems of access and tenure should be considered. Without land as collateral women cannot obtain credit which is needed to increase their productivity and income. Needing the co-signature of a husband or father, or a loan, is a major obstacle to the growing number of women who are widowed, divorced, abandoned or single heads of households. Women should be included in loan programmes; group responsibility for payback, flexible repayment schemes and technical assistance should be provided. Health is related to women's productive capacity and ability to look after families. Assisting women to grow more and better food crops will increase incomes and improve nutrition. Women should also have primary and reproductive health care. Linking these needs is education, which has a direct influence on women's relationships, child-bearing and economic opportunities. Women who attend primary school tend to marry later and have fewer children. Their children are more likely to attend school and be healthier. The report urges the international community, especially the United States Government and the UNHCR, to continue support during peacetime reconstruction in Central America. The report also makes recommendations to the governments and countries of the region.

Download or read book Salvadorans in Costa Rica written by Bridget Hayden and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the political and economic upheaval that swept El Salvador in the 1980s, as many as 20,000 Salvadorans took refuge in Costa Rica. Despite similarities between the countries, most Salvadorans experienced El Salvador and Costa Rica as very different places; yet some 6,000 chose to remain after the violence in their country ended, re-establishing their lives successfully enough that they claimed that they now "felt Costa Rican." Bridget Hayden examines the ways in which these people integrated into Costa Rican society and the ambiguous sense of identity they developed, exploring their experience of the process and the cultural concepts they used to interpret those experiences. Salvadorans in Costa Rica: Displaced Lives introduces readers to people from a wide range of class and educational backgrounds who had come to Costa Rica from all over El Salvador. All shared the experience of having become refugees and having settled in a new country under the same circumstances, and when the war in their own country ended, they shared a concern about the issues involved in deciding whether to return there. Their diversity allows Hayden to examine the ways in which the language of national identity played out in different contexts and sometimes contradictory ways. Drawing on contemporary theories of migration and space, Hayden identifies the discourses, narratives, and concepts that Salvadorans in Costa Rica had in common and then analyzes the ways in which their experiences and their uses of those discourses varied. She focuses on key spatial concepts that Salvadorans used in talking about displacement and re-emplacement in order to show how they constructed the experience of settlement and how such variables as gender and age influenced their experiences. Because "nationality" was an idiom they used to relate their experiences, she pays particular attention to the role of national belonging and national difference—in terms of both the ways in which the Salvadorans were received by Costa Ricans and their reactions to their new lives in Costa Rica. A concluding chapter compares them with Salvadorans who emigrated to other countries. The story of these displaced Salvadorans, focusing on the lives of real people, can give us a new understanding of how individuals feel a sense of belonging to a sociocultural space. By exploring many meanings of the nation and national belonging for different people under varying conditions, Hayden's study provides fresh insights into the dynamics of migration, gender, and nationalism.

Book excerpt: Ten years ago thousands of men, women, and children from El Salvador fled to Honduras to escape government repression and violence. They gathered together into a refugee camp, Colomoncagua. What began as a disorganized collection of individuals would develop into a near-utopian community of 8,400 people. The refugees arrived as illiterate and frightened peasants with little experience with democratic institutions; within a few years they transformed the camp into an economically active, democratic, and participatory society. Steve and Beth Cagan tell the story of the refugees' harrowing flight, their determination to make a better life for themselves, and their brave decision to return to El Salvador. We learn of the refugees' successful efforts at developing education, occupational training, improved nutrition, health care, gender equality, and participatory democracyÐÐdespite extreme poverty and confinement and repression from the Honduran government. But even as they were creating a new life for themselves, the refugees were longing for their homeland, El Salvador. After long and complex negotiations with the governments of Honduras and El Salvador, the refugees repatriated, literally picking up their community and crossing over the border. There, in early 1990, they established a new city named for one of the slain Jesuit priests, Dr. Segundo Montes, where they hope to maintain their communitarian style of work and organization. This compelling story is illustrated with over one hundred superb photographs of the refugees and their community. The pictures and text work together, inspiring us to believe that people can sustain hope and can work to improve the conditions of their lives even in the worst circumstances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As bloody wars raged in Central America during the last third of the twentieth century, hundreds of North American groups “adopted” villages in war-torn Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. Unlike government-based cold war–era Sister City programs, these pairings were formed by ordinary people, often inspired by individuals displaced by US-supported counterinsurgency operations. Drawing on two decades of work with former refugees from El Salvador as well as unprecedented access to private archives and oral histories, Molly Todd’s compelling history provides the first in-depth look at “grassroots sistering.” This model of citizen diplomacy emerged in the mid-1980s out of relationships between a few repopulated villages in Chalatenango, El Salvador, and US cities. Todd shows how the leadership of Salvadorans and left-leaning activists in the US concerned with the expansion of empire as well as the evolution of human rights–related discourses and practices created a complex dynamic of cross-border activism that continues today.

Download or read book Beyond Displacement written by Molly Todd and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2010-12-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the civil war that wracked El Salvador from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s, the Salvadoran military tried to stamp out dissidence and insurgency through an aggressive campaign of crop-burning, kidnapping, rape, killing, torture, and gruesome bodily mutilations. Even as human rights violations drew world attention, repression and war displaced more than a quarter of El Salvador’s population, both inside the country and beyond its borders. Beyond Displacement examines how the peasant campesinos of war-torn northern El Salvador responded to violence by taking to the hills. Molly Todd demonstrates that their flight was not hasty and chaotic, but was a deliberate strategy that grew out of a longer history of collective organization, mobilization, and self-defense.
