A letter to the international community about the rights of the refugees

 Athens, Greece

November 11th 2021



Dear members of the international community,


I am writing with the hope of being able to make you aware of the problems that refugees are facing as well as the rights that they have as humans. I am informing you on behalf of the students and teachers of our school and I would also like to mention that our town has had experience with refugees living here before at one point in the last five years. I believe that I would be able to tell some of the problems but also the rights that refugees deserve to have.


First of all, a severely large problem is that a lot of refugees do not have the right living necessities like clothes and proper food and not only that in some cases they do not even have a roof over their heads. These people deserve to have a proper living experience since they may have fled from a country that had war so they deserve to live a life that at least can provide them with something better than what they were used to.


Secondly, another problem is that they do not easily find jobs and that means that they face financial problems and cannot support their families. The businesses usually do not pay them a lot of money and sometimes they do not pay them at all so those people are not able to obtain an income. Although they have the right of finding a job, it seems more difficult in a country that is not their own.


All in all, I believe that refugees have the right to have a job even in a different country that they have not experienced living before and also to a lot more things since they might have gone through a lot in the past. Thank you for taking time in reading my letter.


Sincerely,

Maritina Kitsati
