Syrian refugee’s crisis and human rights

They are the citizens of Syrian Arab republics. after the Syrian civil war in 2011 they have firs from their country. total population of refugees where approx. 5,440,749(December 2017). in 2016, from an estimation done by United nations, they identified approx. 13.5 million Syrians requires humanitarian assistance. It is the migration of millions of people of Syrian due to civil wars and political persecutions in their country. around millions of people are refugees and mostly are in Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon.

How it all started- Syrian people were inspired by The Arab spring. by taking the streets in peaceful demonstration, against the Assad's regime. Then the government started killing, torturing and responded fiercely at the protesters. This situation forcefully changed into civil war. This war is still ragging and killing humanity, it is divided into Islamic extremists and regime rebel fighters.

Syrian refugee crisis is the worst humanity crisis in the world today. Around 12 million of people are being affected by this. Most of the Syrian refugees' lack basic human rights like health care , education etc.

some possible ways to solve human rights crisis of Syrian refugees'-

• safe routes to the refugee’s sanctuary. it means the people are allowed to reunited with their families and relatives and are given refugees’ visas, so that they can live a safe life and are free of the burden of living an illegal life.
• Resettlement of all Syrian refugees who needed the settlement. it is one of the most vital solutions for the neediest refugees including women, children, elderly people and people with serious medical conditions.
• saving lives first should be the moto of world leaders. The political leaders around the world need to understand that not a single human being should die crossing a border. the big and powerful nations can help by making investments in search and rescue missions across the borders of Syria.
• The Syrian refugees should be treated like humans first who are trying to flee a war-torn nation in hope of living a life. They should be allowed to cross borders even without having proper travel documents. politicians need to understand that putting a massive fence and pushing people back is not a solution.
• all the countries where Syrian refugees have taken shelter should investigate and prosecute people who tried to exploit refugees. Most of the Syrian refugees are being exploited by local gangs and being used for human trafficking.
• The governments of nations where these refugees are taking shelters should also stop blaming the refugees for social and economic problems. This spreads xenophobia and promotes racial discrimination which leads to violence.
