Abstract

SENGER, Joana Emilia. Refugees and migrants: interfaces between social integration and public policies. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.1, pp.1-31. ISSN 1983-8220.  https://doi.org/10.36298/gerais202114e15663.

The present work aims to understand the main demands in the field of human rights and social integration of migrants and refugees living in the Vale do Sinos region, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in south of Brazil. A total of 14 refugees and migrants resident in the region participated in this study. They were accessed through a university extension project and through the snowball method. A sociodemographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview with open and closed questions were used in the data collection. The data were submitted to simple statistics and content analysis. Based on the results, several difficulties were identified that are being faced by migrants and refugees, especially regarding the social integration of this population, an aspect that ends up contributing to social vulnerability.

Keywords : Refugees; Migrants; Mental health; Social integration; Social Psychology.
