When I upvote you it does not give you any credit...
I have an opinion also which I would like to share.
This story is a very common story, this time it has real peoples names attached to it but it happens all the time.
The Real Problem
I am a Christian so I am a humanitarian. It does not matter where they come from or what they believe, we have a duty to help them if they are genuine refugees fleeing from genuine persecution (I am not talking about economic refugees - that is whole different topic).
BUT we are FAILING the refugees
We think that taking refugees and putting them straight into the community is the best thing for them, when really it is not. No, refugee camps is not the answer either.
We need a better transitioning method to help them integrate into our society. In Australia we have had refugees touching girls in the sea at the beach! and many other more serious cases.
We must understand that these people have come from a completely different culture and they need help to integrate.
I am working on blog for a better solution to handling refugees, giving them dignity and respect but with a methodology to help them integrate and to be better residents in their host countries.
Just because someone was allowed to beat his wife in his originating country does not allow him to do it here. We respect culture but our laws must override any cultural inheritance that a refugee may have brought with him or her.
I appreciate your efforts to highlight this news and hope and pray this woman will not become another statistic.
The Rafia family should have been placed in a larger city where they could get the support they needed. There was absolutely nothing for the family in the little community of Chipman. How many more people were placed in communities with zero resources! I guess we'll never know until the next disaster.. I met Raghna once. I hope so too. Just thinks about her injuries brings tears to my eyes all over again.
I feel your pain.
There is no responsibility taken for the government actions... these days budgets are always being cut and human lives have no value in a budget or on a balance sheet... very sad... the notion of our governments are specious (superficially plausible, but actually wrong)!
Totally agree!
