There are many children who are either immigrants or refugees who are very ill either from a mental illness or physical illness. There isn’t much help for These kids or parents because everything costs money, but they don’t have any since there isn’t any jobs available and the pay is very low. People see these families don’t need help because they think that they can do it on their own or that they are just lazy people who want everything for free. What these people don’t see is that these families in Central America need very much help since there isn’t really many jobs and pay is very low. The government should be funding more help for these families because children are even getting affected by this. People don’t see that these families …show more content…
These kids are getting ill as in the article “Child Health outcome among Central American refugees and immigrants in Belize” by Nancy Moss, Michael C. Stone, and Jason B. Smith says in this article “A high incidence of diarrheal and respiratory illnesses (30% and 47% of children….)” by seeing this it shows that many kids are having illness in this city which is located in Central America and nothing is being done to help these kids that are in need of help. It’s not these kids fault that they have gone through this it’s actually no knows, which is why people or the government should be helping out these kids one way or another. Government should open up little clinics to help these kids and families out with their mental illnesses that they suffer …show more content…
As in the article “Central America” by Dr. Yadira Villasenor this a research team where they try to help states and countries to be able to find a way to help people with these kinds of issues in which they don’t receive much help for. The causes that Central Americans get HIV is because it can be from poverty and many more things such as “…, widespread stigma of the disease, limited access to health care, poverty, and migration all contribute to the region’s vulnerability to a growing HIV epidemic.” these are some factors that lead these people who live in central America to get these kind of diseases. If the government would provide more health care to these people, then they would be able to get help to fight and be treated for HIV and this is something they should do to help these people who are suffering from this horrible disease instead of not being able to help them to treat it. These poor people that need treatment might not be able to afford getting it because it is too expensive for them to be able to afford the medicine they need for the disease. Since some of them don’t work because they don’t have jobs since they aren’t really any kind of jobs they can get they are more in need of help and the government should be able to help with
Starting a new life is very problematic for many Central American children that migrate to the United States. There are a lot of difficulties involved in the process to migrate to the United States including the journey to get there. An extremely common way to migrate is by train. Migrants usually take away many life lessons from the journey to the United States such as the generosity and assistance from fellow Central Americans. On the other hand there’s extreme hardships. For example, the many robberies, and gang violence a migrant can face on the journey to the United States. During the trip, migrants learn that they usually cannot take things for granted, especially how scarce food, supplies, and other necessities are.
We Are Being Swamped: Less than 16,000 (15,800) people claim asylum in Australia each year. While this may seem like a lot, Australia receives less than two percent of the total asylum claims made globally.
As I said earlier children are sensitive and fragile. The situations that they are forced to see their loved ones go through can be very unimaginable. Dr. Burke Harris is trying to address this issue to resolve and put an end to the start of adversity. We must ignore it. "Adverse childhood experiences are the single greatest unaddressed public health threat facing our nation today” (Burke Harris). If the United States hold a strong record of addressing public health problems, then what are we doing? It is important for everyone to know this. Adversity is not only happening in the poorest neighborhood in San Francisco, it is happening everywhere. If I could make one-hundred dollars for every time that I’ve heard someone say “they’re too young to understand”, I would be a very wealthy person. Let us really begin to address an end to adversity and help these
The conditions of Australia’s immigration detention policies have also been cause for concern for probable contraventions of Articles 7 and 10 of the ICCPR. Whilst in Sweden, asylum seekers are afforded free housing whilst their applications are being processed, Australia’s methods are much more callous. Under the Pacific Solution, maritime asylum seekers are sent to impoverished tropical islands with no monitoring by human rights organisations allowed (Hyndman and Mountz, 2008). The UNHCR criticised Australia’s offshore processing centres stating that “significant overcrowding, cramped living quarters, unhygienic conditions, little privacy and harsh tropical climate contribute to the poor conditions of… Nauru and Papua New Guinea” (Morales
In this essay, I will be talking about social work problems faced in the UK and how they are addressed. I will be focusing on asylum seekers particularly Unaccompanied asylum seeking children (UASC). These are children who are under 18yrs of age and applying for asylum in their own rights. I aim to highlight key areas in understanding the needs of these children while recognising that these are by no means homogenous, and therefore explain how these needs are addressed by social policies, legislature and social workers.
Although the sub-Saharan region accounts for just 10% of the world’s population, 67% (22.5 million) of the 33.4 million people living with HIV/AIDS in 1998 were residents of one of the 34 countries of sub-Saharan Africa, and of all AIDS deaths since the epidemic started, 83% have occurred in sub-Saharan Africa (Gilks, 1999, p. 180). Among children under age 15 living with HIV/AIDS, 90% live in sub-Saharan Africa as do 95% of all AIDS orphans. In several of the 34 sub-Saharan nations, 1 out of every 4 adults is HIV-positive (UNAIDS, 1998, p. 1). Taxing low-income countries with health care systems inadequate to handle the burden of non-AIDS related illnesses, AIDS has devastated many of the sub-Saharan African economies. The impact of AIDS on the region is such that it is now affecting demographics - changing mortality and fertility rates, reducing lifespan, and ultimately affecting population growth.
Today, there are over 65 million refugees in the world. That means that one in every 113 people in the world is a refugee. To many, this number may seem extremely alarming. Many refugees struggle to find a place to resettle. America, along with other developed countries, has often been considered dreamland for these displaced people, making many wanting to get out of their war-torn houses and camps. Refugees immigrating to America have been displaced from their original homes, face frustrating immigration policies, and have difficulties starting a new life in a new land.
The United States is divided into three different classes when classifying a group by their income. The classes are the High class, the middle class, and the low class. People who live in the high and middle classes have every day struggles similar to people living in the lower class have; but one thing that fluctuates is the types of struggles people in poorer class have to face proceeding on an everyday basis. For example, not knowing if they will have food on the table for their children, heat for their house in the winter, or have a roof over their head by the end of the month. Unfortunately to every difficulty there is always a gray area over looked. When dealing with poverty, children are often the ones left in that gray area with no
The AIDS epidemic has reached disastrous proportions on the continent of Africa. Over the past two decades, two thirds of the more than 16 million people in the world infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, live in sub-Saharan Africa. It is now home to the largest number of people infected, with 70 percent of the world’s HIV infected population. The problem of this ongoing human tragedy is that Africa is also the least equipped region in the world to cope with all the challenges posed by the HIV virus. In order understand the social and economic consequences of the disease, it is important to study the relationship between poverty, the global response, and the effectiveness of AIDS prevention, both government and grass roots.
As Paul Farmer pursues to bring health care to impoverished nations, he builds the health care systems, is able to provide services for ones living in poverty, and speaks about the improved health care system in Cuba. While watching Paul Farmer’s interview, he made it clear that giving impoverished nations health care will benefit them all. He says, “Is

Another casual night: the air is sticky, and the water is scarce, all throughout the country the sound of gunshots are ringing through the air. For most people, this “casual” night is beyond their wildest imagination, but for Syrians it is an ongoing nightmare. Faced with the trauma of a civil war, Syrian refugees seek protection and a more promising future than the life they currently live in their oppressive country. Many seek refuge in other Middle East countries like Turkey and Jordan, but others search for hope in the icon of freedom, the United States of America. However, in America, there is an ongoing debate about whether or not Syrian refugees should be accepted. America needs to accept the Syrian refugees because if they do not, the
a topic of great debate for many years, both in the UK and across many
Poverty in childhood is not optimal for child development and is associated with a broad range of problems in physical, cognitive and social-emotional development in children (Aber, Morris, & Raver, 2012). Childhood poverty is the cause of low educational attainment, child abuse, neglect, mental illness and generational poverty. These results of poverty are especially hard on Hispanic children. The educational gap, between Hispanics and their White peers, begins before age three and continues throughout their school career. By eighth grade 80% or more of Hispanics cannot read or do math at grade level (CDF, 2012). “More than 1 in 5 victims of child abuse and neglect in 2010 were Hispanic” (CDF, 2012). The U. S. is seeing many more children and families suffering from mental health conditions that are a factor but also a result in their poverty. Smith, Stagman, Blank, Ong, & McDow, (2011), states that 9-14 % of children under age 6 experience behavior and emotional problems and the percentage is higher for those living in poverty. There are so many factors that affect childhood poverty and contribute to the cause of it that policies need to address multiple factors. The main factor, besides wages and lack of jobs, is the education of parents and children, especially Hispanic. Besides the above mentioned factors and
HIV does not only affect the well-being of individuals, it has large impacts on households, communities and even nations as a whole. Peer discussions and personal research has also made me realize that some of the countries suffering from this HIV epidemic also rather unfortunately suffer from other infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis, relative poverty and economic stagnation. Despite these setbacks, new inte...
