Asylum seekers from Gaza and Sudan face prejudiced policies and bureaucratic hurdles
from Don’t Call Me Resilient · host Vinita Srivastava
Around the world, people are being forced to leave their homes in droves. We are seeing it happen in Gaza, as Israeli forces continue to wage war. And in Sudan, which has also been wracked by war. Then there are the people fleeing political or economic strife - like those living in Haiti, or Venezuela. Canada has various refugee programs designed to take in those seeking asylum from what's happening in their home countries. But the problem is, they weren't all created equal. In today's episode, Vinita talks to Christina Clark-Kazak, professor of public and international affairs at the University of Ottawa. Clark-Kazak says Canada's refugee system has always been politicized - but never more so than now.
