Abstract
Since the beginning of the 20th century, repeated experiences of conflict, dispute, and
discrimination have increased the number of displaced persons and increased their vulnerability to
trauma (Arroyo et. Al., 2017). While displaced people or refugees in host nations abroad, their
mobility is typically influenced by challenges on the physical, socioeconomic, and psychological
dimensions. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), along with numerous
governmental and non-governmental, international, and local organizations, has increased its action
to protect the human rights of the displaced people and to offer immediate help and short-term
solutions, the importance of which must be prioritized to foster healthier, more prosperous, and
peaceful communities (UNHCR, 2014). However, youth who are refugees are a group that is
particularly at risk and victimized. Approximately 39% (UNHCR, 2018) of new refugees are
children or youth, according to UNHCR statistics. Compared to adults, they are more vulnerable to
trauma brought on by war, and many of them are also isolated from their families, which increases
their chance of experiencing serious psychological problems and regularly exposes them to
exploitation, trafficking, and abuse (UNHCR, 2019). This is not to argue that children and youth
who have fled their homes would necessarily suffer from impairment; rather, several cultural,
social, and experiential elements may foster resilience and help people recover psychologically
from trauma (Arroyo et. Al., 2017).
