Mental health of refugee children : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mental health of refugee children Mental health of refugee children is often affected by pre-migration and post-migration stressors. Compared to other immigrants, refugee children are more likely to have serious problems associated with malnutrition, disease, physical injuries, brain damage and sexual or physical abuse. These problems may affect the child's cognitive, social and emotional development, leading to serious mental deficiencies/illnesses including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression.〔 ==Refugee definition==
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the term refugee refers to any individual who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of origin owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion. Approximately 44% of the world’s refugees are children.〔UNHCR. (2006). “Measuring Protection by Numbers.” http://www.unhcr.org/publ/PUBL/4579701b2.pdf. P. 1.〕 A child is anyone below the age of 18 according to the Convention on the Rights of a Child on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflicts.〔“Child Soldiers Global Report 2008.” Human Rights Watch: Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers. http://www.childsoldiersglobalreport.org/content/rwanda.〕 Since 1980, 1.8 million refugees have been invited to live in the United States, 40% of whom have been children. An estimated 95% of them resettle with their parents. About 80% of the world’s refugees are hosted by developing countries.〔 Presently, the largest refugee producing countries include Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and Sudan.〔
