“…Although it is difficult to establish a correlation between age and psychological problems, the literature provides examples of an increase in psychological problems as people grow older (16,19,20). For instance, a study by Nasergol and Sherry (11) showed that most psychological problems are experienced in ages 13 -17 years.…”

Background: The so-called "Islamic State" slaughtered theYazidis in 2014 on Sinjar, when it was marked by utmost violence including genocidal acts against the Yazidis population. This study aims to investigate the resulting psychological problems in Yazidis children and adolescents. Methods: The present study was a descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted in 2016-2017. The population comprised of displaced Yazidi children (8-15 years old) in Khanak Camp of Dohuk. The sample included 100 children, from which 51participants were omitted due to their reluctance or to incomplete checklists. Finally, 49 subjects (30 females and 19 males) participated in the study. Data were collected by demographic questionnaire and youth pediatric syndromes checklist-17. Collected data were analyzed by SPSS-22. Results: The results indicated that 65.3% of participants scored above the cutoff (15). Then, more than half of participants suffered from psychological problems. Since the PSY checklist is composed of three subscales, each subscale was also an analysis. Females scored higher than males in total scores, as well as in all subscales. Boys only scored higher in externalizing. The mean score also increased with age in all subscales. The result of analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that, on the internalization scale which deals with the probability of anxiety and depression, the females were more vulnerable. Also, probability of psychological problems in ages 8-10 was less than for other participants. Conclusions: In line with previous studies, this study showed that psychological problems are common in displaced Yazidi children. In addition, with the prevalence of psychological problems there was a relationship between gender and age.

“…The current Syrian crisis started in 2011 after several Arab counties witnessed political uprisings that led to changes in the governments in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen. These uprisings spread to Syria and while the protests against the oppressive regime in Syria were peaceful, the extreme violent response of the government triggered a wave of violence, both pro-and anti-government military activities across most of the country (Jabbar and Zaza, 2014). As a result of these crises, Syrian refugees migrated en-masse from the country to neighbouring countries and regions.…”

The objective of this paper is to contribute to the knowledge on social innovation for education and resource development. The study combined two related constructs: social innovation and the administration of refugees in a camp environment. Existing research has studied social innovation. However, there is limited research on social innovation in the context of refugees. This study offers a comprehensive approach by defining social innovation contextually and determines if certain knowledge can be classified as social innovation. The results would indicate that social innovation projects do exist within the human resource development, political influence, social and entrepreneurial frameworks. Hence, in contributing to the theory on social innovation, further work should focus on the context in which the social innovation is studied, as the context could affect the outcome. The findings will be of value to future investments in both social innovation and social entrepreneurship, in particular within socially deprived environments.

“…In addition, UNHCR found 53% of the children interviewed reported struggling with poverty and meeting basic needs prior to attempting to arrive to the United States (UNHCR, ). Empirical research also suggests that children living as refugees are at an increased risk of mental health issues including post‐traumatic stress (O'Donnell & Roberts, ) and depression (Jabbar & Zaza, ).…”

In addition, Human Rights Watch (2016) report that fewer than 1% of UC from the Northern Triangle detained by the Mexican Government receive refugee status or other forms of formal protection, leading to high rates of deportation.…”

In 2014, the United States saw a greater than 50% increase in the number of unaccompanied children from Mexico and Central America arriving at the U.S./Mexico border, and unaccompanied children continue to migrate to the United States in consistent numbers. The dramatic increase of 2014 exposed gaps in policies aimed at supporting unaccompanied children as they await legal adjudication. This paper begins with a historic review of immigration policies in the United States aimed at supporting unaccompanied migrant children. An analytic review is provided of existing immigration policies in the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of Refugee Resettlement, highlighting the competing paradigms created by missions of security‐focused policy versus child‐centred policy. A close examination of the values that influenced policy development in this area is included, along with a discussion of how social work practice can infuse elements of social justice into immigration policy reform. Areas for future research to reform immigration policy focused on supporting unaccompanied undocumented minors are highlighted.
