Links Prepared by Kurt Mills, Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Mass., USA One of the most visible results of armed conflict, as well as human rights abuses and civil unrest, is the generation of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons, whether by the hundreds or hundreds of thousands. There are currently approximately 12 millions refugees around the world, as well as many millions of others who have been forcibly displaced as a result of conflict and other reasons. While being a significant effect of international conflict, and a global humanitarian problem, refugee situations have also been part of the conditions which may lead to international conflict, most notably in the Great Lakes region of Africa where refugee populations took part in various aspects of local and regional conflict before and after the 1994 genocide. Refugee crises have also been at the heart of debate over humanitarian intervention, as the international community struggles to decide how to respond to humanitarian crises all over the world. Jump to: Refugees Internally Displaced Persons US High Commissioner for Refugees US Agencies ... Links According to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees , a refugee is a person who "owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country." Most commentators view this definition as too restrictive in that its focus on individualized persecution does not correspond to the realities of todays world. Many people leave their home and become refugees as a result of generalized violence and war.

The Gender Empowerment Measure, an index of access to political, economic, and social opportunities, for South Asia has the lowest value amongst all regions, including sub-Saharan Africa, despite women heads of government in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and, till recently, Pakistan. We have a long way to go before we act on the recognition that gender roles in disaster situations are heavily weighted against women's imperatives Floods and droughts are common to most of South Asia. Additionally, the region has, in recent years, witnessed a succession of conflicts and displacement. In the context of this geosector, the term 'emergency situation' includes situations where natural and human-made disasters threaten the capacity of a community to withstand crises, leading to large-scale or impending loss of lives and livelihood.

This is a traditional African spice basket with lid made by an unknown basketmaker in a village in Burundi. These villagers were renowned for their skill as basket makers. The fusha color comes from a natural dye made from native plants in the area. The purple color, to me, represents our adaptability as humans. It is made from used carbon paper. Within a year after making this basket, all the people in this village were killed in the fighting in their area. This basket was given to me as a thank-you gift. I have tried to share its story with others. I have written an essay about this basket which was published in my book on Secondary Traumatic Stress. You can find the text below.

Extractions: A HISTORY OF POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER In 1980, the American Psychiatric Association added PTSD to the third edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) nosologic classification scheme. Although a controversial diagnosis when first introduced, PTSD has filled an important gap in psychiatric theory and practice. From an historical perspective, the significant change ushered in by the PTSD concept was the stipulation that the etiological agent was outside the individual him or herself (i.e., the traumatic event) rather than an inherent individual weakness (i.e., a traumatic neurosis). The key to understanding the scientific basis and clinical expression of PTSD is the concept of "trauma." The DSM-III diagnostic criteria for PTSD were revised in DSM-III-R (1987) and DSM-IV (1994). A very similar syndrome is classified in ICD-10. Diagnostic criteria for PTSD include a history of exposure to a "traumatic event" and symptoms from each of three symptom clusters: intrusive recollections, avoidant/numbing symptoms and hyper arousal symptoms. A fifth criterion concerns duration of symptoms. One important finding, which was not apparent when PTSD was first proposed as a diagnosis in 1980, is that it is relatively common. Recent data from the national co morbidity survey indicates PTSD prevalence rates are 5% and 10% respectively among American men and women. As noted above the "A" stressor criterion specifies that a person has been exposed to a catastrophic event involving actual or threatened death or injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of him/herself or others. During this traumatic exposure, the survivor's subjective response was marked by intense fear, helplessness or horror.

An analytical perspective is used to examine the relationship of human evacuation and migration. The first part of the paper focuses on the variables of distance, permanence and voluntarism used to distinguish evacuation from migration, to point out that the lack of interest in evacuation by students of migration, partly on the basis of the assumed clear-cut differences in these three dimensions, is unwarranted. The second part of the paper identifies three models which would provide a basis for a synthesis of the two types of geographical mobility: evacuations and migrations as residential displacements, as the result of subjective decision-making processes triggered by stressors, and as instances of collective behavior.
