This book was released on 1993 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To better understand the impact of detention on Vietnamese women and their children in detention camps in Hong Kong, Community and Family Services International and the International Catholic Child Bureau conducted an assessment of the needs of the women and the stresses they and their children have experienced. As well as enabling representative groups of women in the camps to articulate and share their concerns and documenting the psychological effects of detention, the report aimed at providing data to help camp managers and humanitarian agencies to develop suitable programmes for them both in Hong Kong and Vietnam. The women in detention actively participated in the assessment. A bleak picture of wome as disempowered victims of abuse, intimidation and neglect emerged. The results of the assessment were put forward for full dissemination in the camps as among the report's recommendations is a strong plea that the momentum created by the investigation is harnessed to promote the increased participation of women in camp decision making.

Download or read book In Camps written by Jana K. Lipman and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the US war in Vietnam, close to 800,000 Vietnamese left the country by boat, survived, and sought refuge throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific. This is the story of what happened in the camps. In Camps raises key questions that remain all too relevant today: Who is a refugee? Who determines this status? And how does it change over time? From Guam to Malaysia and the Philippines to Hong Kong, In Camps is the first major work on Vietnamese refugee policy to pay close attention to host territories and to explore Vietnamese activism in the camps and the diaspora. This book explains how Vietnamese were transformed from de facto refugees to individual asylum seekers to repatriates. Ambitiously covering people on the ground—local governments, teachers, and corrections officers—as well as powerful players such as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the US government, Jana Lipman shows that the local politics of first asylum sites often drove international refugee policy. Unsettling most accounts of Southeast Asian migration to the US, In Camps instead emphasizes the contingencies inherent in refugee policy and experiences.

Book Synopsis Beyond Concrete and Steel by : Elisabeth Mayer-Rieckh
Download or read book Beyond Concrete and Steel written by Elisabeth Mayer-Rieckh and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most refugee contexts the critical need for 'protection' is very real. This study focuses on Vietnamese asylum seekers in detention centres in Hong Kong. Particular attention is paid to Vietnamese women and the forms of suffering they endure because of their gender identity. The author aptly discloses the social, economic and cultural constructions which nurture what ought to be considered an embarrassing status quo and she proposes that a relationship exists between the violence Vietnamese women in detention have to endure and the imbalance of power-sharing. The origins of such violence are said to be the functions of the institutions set up for asylum seekers and reflect the cultural norms regarding women as possessions of men. The author sees listening to the voices of the Vietnamese asylum seekers in general and women in particular as a first step to improve their rights and increase their choices. Hence she links self-empowerment of people to understanding of their interests, concerns and needs as well as becoming aware of their resources. Follow-up in the form of a second step must then be dedicated to efforts that make the voices of Vietnamese men, women and children in detention in Hong Kong heard. Such action, the author concludes, might press the international community to respond by working towards a legal and humanitarian framework for asylum seekers and their particular needs that go beyond 'Concrete and Steel'.

This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children and young people are often discussed as if they are homogenous groups. The reality is, of course, very different, with an enormous variation within each of these groups and in any domain of experience pertaining to childhood or adolescence. Driven by personal, sociocultural, geographic, or economic circumstances, many children and young people worldwide are experiencing a totally different reality to those who fit with more mainstream patterns of childhood. This has substantial implications for their sociophysical environmental experience and our understanding of their physical environmental needs. The aim of this book is to draw attention to these alternate realities for a number of these groups of children and young people, highlighting the unique and different considerations associated with their particular circumstances in each instance, and identifying the repercussions for their physical environmental needs. Ultimately, this book creates an evidence-based discussion which can be used by designers, planners and policy makers, and those delivering services and programs to children and young people as a basis to make informed decisions on how to work with the groups of children and young people in our book for better environmental provision.

Download or read book The Invisible Citizens of Hong Kong written by Sophia Suk-mun Law and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2014-06-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 3, 1975, Hong Kong received its first cohort of 3,743 Vietnamese boatpeople. The incident opened a 25-year history that belongs to a larger context of forced migration in modern social history. By researching all possible textual material available, the book provides a comprehensive review of the collective history of the Vietnamese boatpeople. Moreover, it intertwines historical archives with personal drawings created by the Vietnamese living in Hong Kong detention camps, recapping a collective memory with its human face. By interpreting and analyzing these drawings, the author demonstrates the expressive and communicative power of imagery as a form of language, and illustrates how art can tell a personal tragic story when language fails. She unfolds the stories and artworks throughout the whole book with the hope that new insights and meanings can be attained through the conscious review and re-interpretation of the past.
